Research Abstract

While the relative importance of leisure in social life is rising, leisure as well as labour take part in the meaning of life. Now we need to construct a philosophy of leisure going back to the concept of leisure in Aristotle. Aristotle claims that the best activities of men are realized in schole. Here people would participate in various kinds of theoretical and practical studies and various kinds of cultural activities. In the contemporary philosophy of leisure, there is some opinion which claims that it is our own task to find out the leisure activities which constitute the ground of our own life.
