This book explores what it means to exist in virtual worlds. How do experiences in (and of) virtual environments affect the ways in which individual human beings understand and attribute meaning to their own existence? Chiefly drawing on the philosophical traditions of existentialism, this book articulates the idea that, by means of our equipment and coordinated practices, we human beings open coherent, distinct contexts or worlds in which we 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, adopt new subjectivities, explore previously unexperienced ways of being, and take reflective stances towards their existence and their subjectivity in the actual world. This book will be a useful tool for scholars working in the fields of philosophy, anthropology, media studies, and digital game studies.
