"Homo Ludens" is a concept developed by the Dutch historian and cultural theorist Johan Huizinga in his 1938 book of the same name. The term translates to "man the player" or "playing man" and emphasizes the importance of play in human culture and society. Huizinga argues that play is a fundamental aspect of human existence, influencing culture, social interactions, art, and even the development of civilization itself.
