Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper forwards a promising philosophically-based agent for treating busyness/enframing, a characteristic of contemporary society marked by predominately seeing entities in terms of their usefulness, efficiency, and productivity. The proposed agent combines Josef Pieper’s conceptualisation of intellectus-based leisure with Martin Heidegger’s notion of aletheia. The subsequent combination enables people to unveil deeper, fuller comprehensions of phenomena, especially when they perform contemplative seeing. While it is too early for issuing claims regarding leisure’s effectiveness, it is not premature to identify recreation professionals, expressly those who enrich their existing expertise with knowledge of aletheia and the ability to teach contemplative seeing, as qualified for addressing busyness/enframing.
