Virtual Existentialism

This book explores what it means to exist in virtual worlds. Chiefly drawing on thephilosophical traditions of existentialism, it articulates the idea that-bymeans of our technical equipment and coordinated practices - human beings disclose contexts or worlds in which they can perceive, feel, act, and think. More specifically, this book discusses how virtual worlds allow human beings totake new perspectives on their values and beliefs, and explore previously unexperienced ways of being. Virtual Existentialism will be useful for scholars working in the fields of philosophy, anthropology, media studies, and digital game studies.
