This week I am fascinated by the fact that Huizinga ends his book with a discussion on time. I found this curious because my small group last week felt that Tony’s first question on Homo Ludens required an analysis and a discussion of the time in which the book was written. Within the first paragraph, Huizinga states, “A mind historically focussed will embody in its idea of what is ‘modern’ and ‘contemporary’ a far larger section of the past than a mind living in the myopia of the moment” (195). His point? Our past is always our present. Mic drop.
