Über diesen Titel

 “There are at least two kinds of games,” states James P. Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite; the other infinite. A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.”

Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning, but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change—as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end.

What are infinite games? How do they affect the ways we play our finite games? What are we doing when we play—finitely or infinitely? And how can infinite games affect the ways in which we live our lives?

Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world—from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion—leaving all we think we know illuminated and transformed. Along the way, Carse finds new ways of understanding everything, from how an actress portrays a role to how we engage in sex, from the nature of evil to the nature of science. Finite games, he shows, may offer wealth and status, power and glory, but infinite games offer something far more subtle and far grander.

Carse has written a book rich in insight and aphorism. Already an international literary event, Finite and Infinite Games is certain to be argued about and celebrated for years to come. Reading it is the first step in learning to play the infinite game. Philosophie

It was an interesting listen but overwhelming at times. I will definitely either have another listen or read the book at some point.

I grasp the concepts conveyed and they resonate with me but it sent my mind spinning many times and all of a sudden I found myself having missed 20 minutes.

Completely blown away by the reasoning from the authors ability to dream up these concepts and share them.

It is compact and eye opening.

Obviously there are many people who like this book. With me it didn’t connect at all. To me it just sounded like empty smart-(C)arsery.

I regret having bought this

This work was too theoretical for me, especially given that I listened to it instead of reading it. It doesn't give any incentive as to *why* one should understand these concepts. Also, the author quotes Hegel – just to give you an idea of how philosophical it is. I quit after about 1 hour of listening.

The narrator however did a job that left nothing to be desired :)

Basically a philosophy book

I stopped listening after point 16 in chapter 1. Very theoretical, no examples to support imagination, ie like Harari does. I am surely not capable enough to follow the hogh ratings of this book

Too sophisticated for me
