Abstract
ABSTRACT The authors present a discussion of the state of leisure studies with regard to its epistemological relationships with leisure sciences. The absence of historical context, the poorness of disciplinary perspectives, extreme empiricism and a Utopian vision of the future have adversely affected leisure studies over the past few decades. The meaning of the term “leisure”, and the very nature and full significance of leisure sciences should lead researchers not to a definitive conquest of a new world of knowledge, but to a re-examination of society. This means raising fundamental questions about the direction contemporary societies are taking, and trying to show how leisure studies could contribute to a better knowledge of what they involve.
