This paper argues the centrality of play for any understanding of reflexivity and soindeed for human existence in the world. It ties both play and ritual to the human potentialto create "as if" or subjunctive universes through which other realities can be tested, exploredand judged. These aspects of human social existence, together with our ability to symbolize andhence notate our experience are explored in terms of their relation to the transformations ofthe Axial Age.
