Book Description:

In Philosophy Through Video Games, Jon Cogburn and Mark Silcox - philosophers with game industry experience - investigate the aesthetic appeal of video games, their effect on our morals, the insights they give us into our understanding of perceptual knowledge, personal identity, artificial intelligence and the very meaning of life itself, arguing that video games are popular precisely because that they engage with longstanding philosophical problems.
