This dissertation originates from my childhood experience of play, academic experiences with play and art, and teaching experiences with play and education, wherein the first propelled me to ask the question "What is play?", the second drew me to the topic of art as play, and the third attracted me to play pedagogies and the construction of a taxonomy of theories of art as play from which play pedagogies in art education can be categorized, analyzed, and guided.The academic discipline that resolves the first question is ontology, whereupon I develop an ontology of play built upon Maritain's system of ontology. The system that addresses my second topic is a taxonomy of theories of play, which synthesizes Henricks's, Caillois's, Spariosu's, and Sutton-Smith's classifications of play or games. Despite two different systems, a taxonomy of theories of play can be integrated into an ontology of play, thereby resulting in a Maritainian ontology of play. The essence of play comprises the topics of definitions of play, the distinction between play and game, the comparison between play and work, and theories of play; the existence of play encompasses the topics of play as an accident, the subjectivity of play, the causality of the existence of play, etc; the action of play is exemplified by Bourdieu's theory of art as play of power. Maritain's system of ontology is not easily and immediately comprehensible. To understand Maritain's scholarship, I commenced with research on his personal life and academic background, wherein I discerned that his system is an Aristotelian and Thomistic ontology and that he is an Aristotelian and a Neo-Thomist. Also, I discovered that an elaboration on Aristotle's logic about definitions and Porphyry's Isagoge is conducive to better comprehending Maritain's ontological system (precisely, being as essence and being as existence) and thereby criticizing his logic fallacies. I also found that the third perspective from which being is viewed (i.e., the third section)-being as action-is Aristotle's doctrine of act and potentiality, which is the foundation of Aristotle's theory of change. The three positions or systems on the problem of becoming (i.e., change) are the Eleatic system (reality as being: the negation of becoming), the Heraclitean system (reality as becoming: the apotheosis of becoming), and the atomistic system (reality as being and becoming: explanation of becoming), wherein explanation (of becoming) is an intermediate position. By the law of excluded middle, one either negates or apotheosizes becoming. The third system stands closer to the second system-the position of Aristotle's theory of change. The taxonomy of theories of play that I have constructed can also be a taxonomy of theories of art as play. My taxonomy of theories of art as play consists of ten theories-art as play of power, art as play of chance, art as play of mimesis, art as play of movement, art as play of progress, art as play of identity, art as play of the imaginary, art as play of self, art as play of frivolity, and art as play of interaction-wherein the theory of art as play of power closely relates to the topics of the definition of art and art education curriculum, Freud's discourse on children at play and the creation of art exemplifies the theory of art as play of imagination, and the theory of art as play of progress closely relates to art education. Theories of art of play must postulate the logical relation of the inclusion of art in play. Different levels of art education involve different theories of art as play. For example, art as play of imagination and art as play of self are the core of the primary school level, while art as play of power is more pertinent to the art education of the high school and higher education levels.
