Huizinga, Johan
(1872) Professor of Philosophy at the University of Leyden, Holland. He has been a pronounced exponent of the philosophy of culture which he describes as a condition of society in which there is a harmonious balance of material and spiritual values and a harmonious ideal spurring the community’s activities to a convergence of all efforts toward the attainment of that ideal. His best known work is Homo Ludens. — L.E.D.
