As its title indicates, Cusanus? dialogue De ludo globi is built around a game.This game is composed of two elements: a slightly concave wooden ball and asurface on which nine concentric circles are drawn. The meaning of each circleis detailed in Book II of De ludo globi.For its part, Book I deals with the ball and its movement.My paper seeks to find a systematic unity that canbecome a guiding interpretive framework for the dialogue, in the context ofBook I. This systematic unity must also show that the work incorporates in thebackground another, dialogical dimension, in which we can read De ludo globias a dialogue between man and nature.With this in mind, I?ve divided the paper into three parts. First, (1) I willfocus on the ball itself and its movement. Secondly, (2) I will presentCusanus? approach to soul and body. This approach will then lead us to (3) adistinction between freedom and nature.
