In today's "game" and people's life are inseparable, not the game that people will not use the peace of mind to face life. Then the "game" is what the specific concept, which people are not well defined. Today, more than the form of the game to entertainment and the main vent, such as World of Warcraft game, Kara OK, bungee jumping and so on. These take the form of the game's content, making the already serious "games" have more entertainment to the taste. But this is not the pure entertainment of the game, but serious "game" meaning a "spirit of the game." This article outlines the history of the evolution of human thought, the spirit of the game on the evolution of the Western aesthetic discourse, advocates in. the face of materialistic era, people should have "the spirit of the game" to liberate people's thinking, improve people's self-development, summarized "Game Spirit" on the importance of contemporary society.

This article Evolution of Western games that can be divided into four phases:the ancient Greek games, said, thought the theme of the world, and representatives as Heraclitus, Plato. Heraclitus's game is the beginning of the West on game theory, Plato was the first to recall the game from the sky the earth. Play essence of ancient Greece reflected in the social life out of that art and recreation activities, although their own competitive and honorary, but this does not contradict the essence of the game. Modern games that the representative for the Wittgenstein, Gadamer modern game that real-life concerns itself, autonomous, anti-essentialism, practical, activities, and other characters. Gadamer is "no distinction between the aesthetic," to oppose Kant's "aesthetic distinction" to narrow the boundaries of art and truth, and integrity of the arts as a whole there is completely linked. Post-modern game that is representative of Derrida, Foucault, emphasis on integrity, central to the digestion, promote specificity, diversity, unpredictability, with anti-foundationalism, anti-essentialism, anti-Ontology, etc. characteristics. Post-modern games that focus on human realities and the realities of life of people feel that the game has the autonomy, the core of the game not the player but the game itself, emphasizing the game is a practical reality with the activities.

Through the "Play" in the exposition, make people aware of human freedom, human alienation and all-round development can rely on with "the spirit of the game" to achieve. To awaken people to emotional awareness, to regain the confidence of mankind, the construction of free people to protect, cherish their homes.
