Research interests relevant to game philosophy

I work primarily in metaphysics and aesthetics, with a strong interest in the philosophy of games. In my recent research, I have tried to develop a new account of the ontology of videogames. I also examined the various ways in which videogames could be seen as cognitively valuable. My current research is dedicated to issues surrounding virtual and augmented reality. I am also translating Grant Tavinor’s “The Art of Videogames” (Wiley-Blackwell, 2009) into French.
