Description

The outstanding Dutch historian Johan Huizinga belongs to those "darlings of fate" whose names, without exaggeration, are known to one and all, although not everyone, of course, is familiar with his works. According to the thinking of the author of "Homo Ludens," world culture is an endlessly developed and increasingly complex expression of the play principle; beyond play nothing remains. His exceptional, thoughtful, and subtle mastery of the analysis of historical forms, his ability to recreate a cultural era as a whole, vividly, in the full range of its interconnections, brought Huizinga the fame of being "the Burckhardt of the twentieth century," and his views on the science of history provoked, and continue to provoke, fierce discussions - veritable "crossings of swords" on the field of scholarly battle.
