    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Playing a game requires the lusory attitude, not merely rule-conforming behavior.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The lusory attitude requires that players respect the rules because they wish to play and endorse the view that breaking the rules ends the game.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Motivation to follow rules for reasons other than playing the game (e.g., reputation, awards) is insufficient to constitute the lusory attitude.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Wittgenstein's rule-following considerations show that rule-conforming behavior is constitutively inseparable from the practice that gives the rules meaning.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If rules only gain determinate content through participation in the form of life of the game, then acting 'in accordance with' the rules without playing is incoherent.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The logical grammar of game-rules is internal to the game-practice, so there is no external standpoint from which one merely conforms to them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Bratman's planning theory of intention holds that an agent's motivational structure does not negate the intentional content of their actions when those actions are objectively game-directed.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If an athlete executes constitutive game actions—scoring, defending, competing—the causal and intentional structure of those actions instantiates game-playing regardless of background motivation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Separating lusory attitude from game-playing conflates the reasons for which one plays with the activity itself, a distinction Bratman's framework shows undermines Suits's internalist criterion.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    The final element of gameplaying is attitudinal. Suits argues that, to play a game, one must have the ‘lusory attitude’. Players must commit themselves to playing in accordance with the rules that constitute the game just so that the game can take place. The type of motivation must be a particular kind (or at least must include motivation of a particular kind): players must respect the rules because they wish to play and they endorse the formalist view that breaking the rules necessarily ends th
