Description
This book explores how video games can help us consider fundamental philosophical questions. Through ten chapters, it examines topics such as the nature of reality, free will, and what constitutes a mind, using examples from popular video games.
Each chapter introduces a philosophical topic through discussion of relevant games, with interviews from game creators and expert philosophers. The book uses thought experiments to consider ideas that are difficult to test in real life, making it an accessible introduction to philosophy for non-academic audiences.
The chapters cover a range of topics, including the ethics of decision-making, the nature of identity, and the role of choice in our lives. By exploring these questions through the lens of video games, this book offers a unique perspective on some of the biggest debates in philosophy.
