Abstract

I’m showing here that in spite of gravity and meaning of their own tasks humanities can be taken as a play. This way of their perception appears when somebody looks at them from a perspective of the history of ours mental culture. Sokrates’s intelektuall activity is a personification of having fun in humanities: it’s negations- Jorge, the character of The name of the Rose by U. Eco.

Keywords:

play, anti-play, humanities, philosophy, idea, theoretical model, power, micro-power
