Scientific Method, Complexity and Phenomenology in Human Knowledge
The classical scientific method, particularly its deterministic approach, encounters limitations when attempting to fully capture the complexities of human beings. Although many 20th‐century philosophers criticized this method, their arguments were primarily philosophical. I see a need for a critique of the scientific method grounded in empirical science itself. The complexity paradigm offers the most appropriate perspective for this purpose. Thi…
Free will: It unlikely exists in light of psychological theories; it “floats” in the complexity paradigm
This paper explores whether human proactivity can be considered an expression of free will. The discussion involves two paradigms, which are mutually complementary and encompass psychological proactivity and reactivity. Both paradigms raise the question of linear and non-linear determinism, which inevitably leads to the issue of free will. The analysis attempts to find a compromise between linear and non-linear determinism through the approach of…
Stamps Don’t Lie: Sports, Military, and National Identity Postage Stamps As a Mirror of Aggressive Soviet and Russian Propaganda
During the 20 th century, authoritarian regimes willingly embraced sport as a vivid arena for demonstrating their superiority. Prior research on postage stamps issued by such regimes revealed certain patterns associated with periods of aggressive internal and external rhetoric, whereby postage stamps served as a channel for government propaganda. In the current study, we looked at sports, military, and national identity stamps. Applying the socia…
The Complex Club-Fan Relationship: A Glimpse into Stakeholders’ Experience With the Aggressive Interventions of Fans
This study aims to understand the club-fan relationship from the standpoint of club owners, CEOs, and head coaches (i.e., managers). Eight in-depth interviews were conducted with prominent figures from professional football and basketball in Israel. The current findings indicate that while clubs need the support of their fans, they often find themselves struggling with their aggressive behavior and demands to influence the club’s decision-making …
Beyond Cheering: Football Fandom as a Form of Human Play
Lebed formulated play as "other being," a unique state of escape from reality. If football fans are also "players" and not just spectators, then their interactions with the club are characterized by play-like behaviors. To test this premise, we delivered questionnaires to 488 respondents who identified themselves as football followers or fans. We revealed that the most emotionally involved fans ("hot") tend to playful behaviors significantly more…
Sociali persona ludens: The Social Component of Human Play
Social background is a vital element of human play, realizing with the overt and covert transference of social norms as relevant values in public discourse. The interdisciplinary discussion proposed in this article makes it possible to propose a 3D model of ‘sociali persona ludum’ in the concluding part of the study. The model suggests three kinds of domains that together, create each socially dependent person's play: (1) the emergent domain of e…
Time, culture, and mass play
Playing masses interact and communicate in an uncertain and topsy-turvy behavioral environment freed, curbed, and evaluated by cultural norms. Through collective effort, this issue has been studied in depth (e.g., Huizinga, 1938, [1949]; Bakhtin, 1984; Sutton-Smith, 2008). The play of the masses is usually considered an escape toward a pleasurable 'there', in which a person in a crowd becomes not him/herself for a while. However, when play is rit…
Play and Spiel are not the Same: Anti-Wittgensteinian Arguments and Consideration of Game as a Kind of Human Play
The differences between categories of play in English and spiel in German (or jeu in French and so on) are essential because any complex ludic category includes games that are organized and restricted by roles and rules. My choice to deal with Wittgensteinian views of spiel (which is translated by default as ‘play’) is influenced by the fact that his argument in German about the impossibility and futility of a philosophical definition of spiel em…
