Leisure: The Basis of Culture Josef Pieper
Publisher: Ignatius Press



Next week we will discuss Pieper's “The Philosophical Act”. Leisure, the basis of culture by Josef Pieper. We discussed Pieper's Leisure as the Basis of Culture at our first meeting. The writer who speaks of Leisure, the Basis of Culture (Josef Pieper) is confused, even though he can quote some ancient Greek thinkers in his support. One of the most important philosophy titles published in the twentieth century, Josef Pieper's Leisure, the Basis of Culture is more significant, even more crucial, today than it was when it first appeared more than fifty years ago. In Psalm 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” In his book, Leisure: The Basis of Culture, Josef Pieper says this can also be interpreted to mean, “Have leisure, and know that I am God. But that's not how Christianity understands leisure. The Saint Socrates Society reading group is underway. The Barbed Gift of Leisure in The Chronicle Review looks at how robots, by replacing our need to work, can change our relationship with leisure. Andrew caught my attention in his own reference to the estimable German Catholic philosopher, Josef Pieper -- author of such works as Leisure the Basis of Culture and In Tune with the World: A Theory of Festivity. In his book, “Leisure: The Basis of Culture,” the Catholic philosopher Josef Pieper called leisure a “condition of the soul.” It's not the same thing as inactivity or quiet.
