The concept of leisure

idea and ideal

Cyril Barrett

pp. 9-19

Abstract

Of all concepts that of leisure is one of the most intractable. Like the concept of time, in the words of St Augustine, we know what it is when no one asks us, but when they ask what it is, we are hard put to to find an answer.
