Reviews
Questioning Play is questioning a phenomenon, which is a question itself and as such prone for doing philosophy of interrogation. Eichberg is practicing his own bottom-up way of philosophy and succeeds in demonstrating an immense empirical knowledge of play and games put together in a peculiar, differential, phenomenological way. Thereby, he leaves a legacy of far-reaching significance for further critical socio-cultural studies, as well as personal imprints of a curious character with much vitality (despite a ailing physical body in later years) and an adventurous courage resembling the zeal and daring of mountain climbers. - Ejgil Jespersen, idrottsforum.org (2017)
