Plumbing Game Studies

De: Graham Culbertson
  • Resumen

  • Philosophy is like plumbing for ideas - it makes connections and keeps everything flowing. In this podcast, Graham and his guests are doing some philosophical plumbing for game studies. We'll be asking questions like: Why are philosophers always talking about games? Is philosophy itself a game? How can we use games to understand philosophy - and how can we use philosophy to understand games? This podcast will use philosophy to study games and games to study philosophy. Anyone interested in philosophy, games, and how they interact should enjoy it! Remember: the unexamined game is not worth playing

  • 1.5 Agon and Ancient Greek Society -- David Potter
    Jul 11 2024

    Historian David Potter joins me to discuss the concept of agon, or competitive play, and how it animated everything in ancient Greek society from sports to education to politics to art. And Plato's The Republic, often considered the foundation of Western philosophy, was an attempt to end the agonistic nature of society.

  • 1.3 Bernard Suits' The Grasshopper - C. Thi Nguyen
    May 9 2024

    Thi Nguyen joins me to discuss The Grasshopper, a work which takes up Wittgenstein's challenge to define a game and does so in a very productive way. Thi and I discuss the Suitsian definition of a game, how it can redefine not just our sense of games but also the meaning of life, and what this definition of games means for our understanding of agency.

    We conclude by discussing María Lugones' theory of play, which will be the subject of my next episode with Miguel Sicart.
