When the term leisure time is examined etymologically, it is seen that it is derived from the English word "Leisure", the French word "Loisir" meaning to give authority, and the Latin equivalent word "Licere" meaning to allow (Hacıoğlu et al., 2003; Karabüyük). and Gürbüz, 2007; McLean, Hurd and Rogers, 2008). Leisure time appears as an area of ​​activity that has different meanings from past to present. While it is sometimes perceived as based on hedonistic feelings such as resting, having fun and enjoying life, it is sometimes seen as serving purposes such as people's ability to express themselves, feel free and form their identities.

British philosopher Thomas Hobbes said, "Leisure is the root of philosophy." He touched upon the importance of the free time factor in the emergence of philosophy and revealed the effect of free time on philosophy. (Kurnaz, 2019).

Undoubtedly, social sciences as a whole have not yet The answer given to every question about happiness in the ages when it was perceived in the brackets of wisdom; It includes emotions such as pleasure, pleasure and satisfaction (Yücel, 2019). According to Cowell and Wellman (1963), philosophy and recreation are related to each other, and as a result, it is essential for the person to gain knowledge and be happy and healthy
