Video Game Philosophy
What is this stuff?
We use Neo-Thomistic philosophy [Lagrange, Maritain, Grenier] to interpret video games and their place in the world. This project began as an addition on gaming to Jacques Maritain’s “Art and Scholasticism”, which is the greatest inspiration behind Green Dragon CVR. It can be read here in full. Maritain holds, though “the perception of the beautiful takes place without discourse and without any effort of abstraction, [that] conceptual discourse [and the study and rational explication of works of art] can nevertheless play an immense [dispositive and material role] in the preparation for this act”. We perform such study and explication to uncover the “brilliance of form and the light of being” in video games.
