Are Games The Key To The Good Life?
January 18 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm
Bernard Suits defined playing a game as the voluntary attempt to overcome unnecessary obstacles.
A short talk by philosophy professor Derek Skillings, followed by open conversation, will explore the emerging field of the philosophy of games.
What makes games a unique form of aesthetic expression?
Can they provide the means to make us better people? Is there a danger to gamifying life?
Come join the conversation!
