The Aesthetics of Videogames by Jon Robson

The Aesthetics of Videogames by Jon Robson

This collection of essays is devoted to the philosophical examination of the aesthetics of videogames. As a burgeoning medium of artistic expression, videogames raise entirely new aesthetic concerns, particularly concerning their ontology, interactivity, and aesthetic value.

"The editors deserve praise for bringing together a mix of junior and senior scholars, all of whom write with an accessibility and flair that make this book a pleasure to work through. . For anyone interested in the philosophy of games in general or of videogames in particular, this volume is absolutely essential reading. It is also an important contribution to the interdisciplinary field of game studies, as well as to aesthetics and the philosophy of art more generally." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

"Given the depth of discussion, the book is very accessible, generally describing and discussing the views of sources rather than assuming the reader is already familiar with them . . . Summing Up: Recommended." – CHOICE REVIEWS
