The Summary of The novel Finite and Infinite Games presents two contrasting perspectives on how one should live their life, regardless of whether they are participating in sexual relationships or in military conflict. Carse contends that any endeavour can be interpreted either as a game with a limited number of outcomes or as one with an infinite number of outcomes. The former is goal-oriented, while the latter opens the door to an infinite number of possibilities. He illustrates how the world appears to those who play with either the finite or the infinite in mind, and he draws the conclusion that the manner in which we play games as well as the games that we choose to play are entirely up to us.
