Meet the author
James Carse was a Professor Emeritus of the history and literature of religion at New York University, where he taught for more than 30 years. Drawing from a lifetime of studying philosophy and world belief systems, Carse examined the fundamental rules that govern human purpose. This unique academic lens allowed him to articulate his profound vision of life as a choice: to play within fixed boundaries for a final prize, or to play with fluid horizons for the joy of continuing the game.
