Abstract
To play is not merely to be frivolous, but to honour an essential part of our humanity. All work and no play not only makes Jack a dull boy, it deprives him of the opportunities that play offers to enhance his work. In many occupations, the play element simply provides an antidote to the tedium of the work proper and allows the worker to return to the task refreshed and re-energised, but in some professions play is an intrinsic aspect of carrying out the work itself to the highest standards. Since I am addressing an audience of scholars and academics here today, I shall take the work of the academic as an example of this.
