Workshop on the Philosophy of Games ONLINE

Workshop on the Philosophy of Games

October 24-25

ONLINE VIA ZOOM

Games are obviously growing in cultural weight and importance. They also come in various forms, from board games to sports, videogames to game of make-believe, card games to roleplaying games. There are several philosophical questions that can and have been raised about games: what are games? What is their value? Can games be artworks, or possess aesthetic value? Are there ethical issues that arise with gameplay?

Please send an email to bartelcj (at) appstate.edu to register for the event. Once confirmed, a Zoom link will be emailed to all participants in advance of the workshop.

Organizing Committee: Christopher Bartel (Appalachian State University), Mark Silcox (University of Central Oklahoma)
