Abstract

It is shown that the understanding of the phenomenon of the game is one of the essential moments of the cultural tradition, and the very concept of the game was subjected to significant transformations in the course of its deployment. The game is interpreted as a self-sufficient procedurality, and in the course of the evolution of culture (from classics – through non-classics – to post-non-classics), the understanding of this self-sufficiency expands from its interpretation in terms of axiological plane (game has no external goal, and its excitement does not depend on the outcome of the game) to the interpretation ontological plane (game mechanism is applied by post-non-classical philosophy to the unfolding of the processes of the objective world).
