Chiefly drawing on the philosophical traditions of existentialism, it articulates the idea that — by means 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 to take 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.Palgrave pivot.CommunicationPhilosophyDigital mediaCultureTechnologyMedia and Communicationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412010Philosophy of Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34050Digital/New Mediahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412040Culture and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411180Communication.Philosophy.Digital media.Culture.Technology.Media and Communication.Philosophy of Technology.Digital/New Media.Culture and Technology.142.78601Gualeni Stefanoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut955403Vella Danielauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483965203321Virtual Existentialism2161874UNINA
