I will be editing Halo and Philosophy for Open Court's Pop-Culture and Philosophy series, to be published in mid 2011. The call for papers is available here. Tell your friends!

 

I am Luke Cuddy and this is my webpage--thanks for visiting. I am a philosophy instructor, a copywriter for Vandusen Design, and a freelance writer. On a professional level, my philosophical interests are aesthetics, pop-culture and philosophy, Eastern philosophy, and the academic study of games. On a less professional level, my interests are reading a lot of philosophy and fiction, traveling, and playing games and the guitar. Feel free to come to any conclusion about my true identity based on these bits and pieces of factual information--that is, my online identity. What's a "true" identity anyway?

 

"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.
