Episode description
Countless students and adults alike enjoy video games but what exactly are they? A benign form of recreation, high art, engaging sport, or simply an egregious waste of time? Scholark McLarney and Schoolman Fawcett consider the gaming phenomenon in light of Plato's Gorgias, while considering the distinction between beauty, aesthetics, entertainment and addiction. #gaming #gamingaddiction #entertainment #plato
