The Middle Voice in Gadamer's Hermeneutics
Revised thesis (Ph. D.) - University of Chicago Divinity School, Chicago, 2002.
Game of the World
Kostas Axelos traces his thinking on the world deployed as play from Heraclitus through to the culmination of metaphysical philosophy with Nietzsche, Marx and Heidegger. Originally published in 1969, Le Jeu du Monde, conceives of the dawn of the 21st-century in which technological transformations coincide with an increased world at play. Are we continually falling when we are continually scrolling? Are we homeless on our homepages and playless at our PlayStations? Axelos demands a future thinking of fragmentary wholeness where humans - global players and worldwide gamers of planetary and wordless worlds - have yet to learn to play the play of the world.
The World Is Born From Zero
The World is Born From Zero is an investigation into the relationship between video games and science fiction through the philosophy of speculation. Cameron Kunzelman argues that the video game medium is centered on the evaluation and production of possible futures by following video game studies, media philosophy, and science fiction studies to their furthest reaches. Claiming that the best way to understand games is through rigorous formal analysis of their aesthetic strategies and the cultural context those strategies emerge from, Kunzelman investigates a diverse array of games like The Last of Us, VA-11 Hall-A, and Civilization VI in order to explore what science fiction video games can tell us about their genres, their ways of speculating, and how the medium of the video game does (or does not) direct us down experiential pathways that are both oppressive and liberatory. Taking a multidisciplinary look at these games, The World is Born From Zero offers a unique theorization of science fiction games that provides both science fiction studies and video game studies with new tools for thinking how this medium and mode inform each other.
