Leisure the Basis of Culture Josef Pieper
Leisure the Basis of Culture
Josef Pieper
Beginning with the Greeks, and through a series of historical examples, this text demonstrates that leisure has always been the foundation for any culture. It argues that unless the contemporary clamour for entertainment and distraction is challenged, culture will be destroyed.
