And Infinite Games: A Vision Of Life As ... — Finite

Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility by James P. Carse proposes that life consists of two types of games: finite games, played to win within strict rules, and infinite games, played to continue the game itself. The philosophy encourages viewing necessary finite tasks through an infinite, flexible lens to prioritize the ongoing play of life and human possibility over winning. Further analysis of this work is available through philosophical commentaries.
