从过家家到戏剧表演，从秘密社团的入会仪式到游乐场的大转盘，从古希腊的体育竞技到现代的晋升体系，从投币游戏机到股票债券……游戏不仅仅是爱好和消遣，它闪烁在日常经验之中，突显了社会文化的特质，映照出人类文明的变迁。在《游戏与人》这一经典著作中，法国知名社会学家、哲学家、文学批评家罗歇·凯卢瓦对广义上的游戏进行充分考察，深入阐述游戏的本质与文化意义，建立了一种始于游戏的社会学。

　　凯卢瓦基于系统的游戏分类，开创性地用游戏原则区分不同的社会运作模式，从游戏出发追寻文明变迁、观照现代社会。横跨神话学、人类学、文化史等多门学科，纵览众多地域文化中的游戏因素，凯卢瓦以引人入胜的语言、逻辑严密的论证，呈现了一幅包罗万象的游戏图景，使人得以重新审视游戏与文化的内在关联，一窥游戏之于文明的价值。

From house playing to theater performances, from secret society initiation ceremonies to playground turntables, from ancient Greek sports competitions to modern promotion systems, from coin-operated gaming machines to stocks and bonds... Games are more than just hobbies and pastimes; they sparkle in everyday experience, highlighting the idiosyncrasies of society and culture and reflecting the changes in human civilization. In his classic work Games and People, Rocher Kellois, a famous French sociologist, philosopher and literary critic, fully investigated games in a broad sense, elaborated the essence and cultural significance of games in depth, and established a sociology starting from games.

Based on the systematic classification of games, Kailua pioneered the use of game principles to distinguish different modes of social operation, tracing civilization changes from games, and observing modern society. Across multiple disciplines such as mythology, anthropology, and cultural history, and through an overview of the factors of play in many regional cultures, Kelois presents an all-encompassing picture of play with fascinating language and logical reasoning, allowing people to re-examine the intrinsic relationship between play and culture, and the value of play to civilization.
