Theory. The paradox of leisure -- Habermas and communicative and instrumental rationality -- Habermas, globalization and postmodernity -- Reading Habermas on leisure -- Research. Applying Habermas to sport -- Applying Habermas to culture -- Applying Habermas to tourism -- Conclusions.

This book is a crucial contribution to the debate about the meaning and purpose of leisure atthe end of modernity. Karl Spracklen uses Jurgen Habermas's work on the tension of rationalities tosituate leisure and critical studies of leisure as meaningful and valuable in the twenty-first century. In particular, Spracklen uses Habermas' concerns between free, communicative discourse and globalizing, commodifying instrumentality to interrogate leisure as a critical, theoretical concept. Drawing on examples from sport, popular culture and tourism, and going beyond concerns about the grand project of leisure, Spracklen argues that leisure is central to understanding wider debates about identity, postmodernity and globalization.
