On Bernard Suits' Philosophy situates Suits' work within philosophy, play, and leisure studies, as well as the philosophy of sport. It introduces his core ideas and offers a comprehensive interpretation, presenting Suits as a thinker who explores gameplay to ask how one can live well. This book offers readers a clear and comprehensive introduction to Suits' philosophy and its significance across philosophy, game and leisure studies, and the philosophy of sport. By situating Suits' work within broader intellectual debates, this book helps readers grasp how his exploration of gameplay illuminates enduring philosophical questions, such as those concerning the nature of definitions and the good life. Its approach combines careful interpretation of both published and unpublished manuscripts, historical reception, and contemporary engagement to reveal the unity of Suits' philosophical project. In doing so, it delivers the benefit of offering the first systematic and accessible framework for understanding Suits' ideas, connecting The Grasshopper and Return of the Grasshopper as parts of a coherent philosophical project. On Bernard Suits' Philosophy is intended for scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates in philosophy, sport studies, and leisure or game studies. It also appeals to readers in related fields-such as political theory, work studies, and existential philosophy-and to general readers interested in perennial philosophical questions, especially those concerning how to live well.
