Neo-Philosophy - Luke Cuddy

 

Welcome to my webpage. I am a philosophy instructor, a copywriter for Vandusen Design, and a freelance writer. Like many, my professional interests are diverse and include pop-culture and philosophy, Eastern philosophy, aesthetics, philosophy of education, philosophy of religion, and the academic study of games. Recently I've been accepted into the UCSD doctoral program in education, so education will be my focus for the next several years. If you can't find what you're looking for on this website, feel free to contact me. 

 

 

 

 

Here are some random quotes that have inspired me over the years:

 

"For such is the nature of men that, howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty or more eloquent or more learned, yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves..." Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, Chapter 13.

 

 

"I did not even know where I was rushing, down to the earth or up to the sun, to its flame..." Yevgeny Zamyatin, We, Page 80.

 

 

"A man finds himself, to his great astonishment, suddenly existing, after thousands and thousands of years of non-existence: he lives for a little while; and then, again, comes an equally long period when he must exist no more" Arthur Schopenhauer, Studies in Pessimism, Page 18.

 

 

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away" Philip K. Dick, The Shifting Realities of Philip K. Dick, Page 261.

My Master's Thesis

If you are interested in my Master's Thesis which argues that videogames are art, please first note that there is a much better book by Grant Tavinor making the same argument, albeit in a different way. Here is my thesis: Abstract and ToC, Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, and the Bibliography.

My Music

This will soon include video of the different music projects I've participated in throughout the years, from collaborations to personal compositions. I'm working on it...
