Gaming the System

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of philosophy and video games, David J. Gunkel argues that games serve as a medium for philosophical inquiry, allowing us to examine fundamental issues like reality, identity, and morality. By analyzing the works of philosophers such as Plato and Kant, Gunkel illustrates how gaming can challenge traditional concepts of social organization and governance. This study positions virtual worlds as platforms for innovative thought, revealing their potential to address profound questions about the human experience beyond mere entertainment.
