[Wolff-Michael Roth]

Larry,
Spielraum is not just about the physical room to maneuver, though the term
clearly arises from concerns how much "Spiel" (leeway) there is for
something, so Spielraum also is "wiggle-room." You can think about options
or power for acting. Though developed out of a phenomenological agenda, it
clearly has a cultural and mind dimension Michael
