Abstract
GARCIA-SANCHEZ, Rafael. The History of Play as Leisure and the Arts. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2019, vol.41, n.114, pp.8-37. Epub Feb 20, 2020. ISSN 0185-1276. https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2019.114.2664..
This text explores the rhetorical dimension of play and art. “Rhetoric” is understood not as a subordinate of logic and grammar but as the active way to perfect them. Such perfection can be sought out in any aspect and moment of daily life when inspired by genius. The article suggests that it is not in repetition and the passive subjection to rules that an understanding of the phenomenon is to be found, but rather in freedom and activity, which make possible the invention of the unprecedented.
Keywords : Art; play; leisure; Gadamer; rhetoric; praxis; beauty.
