1. Games
Agency as Art
A philosophical examination of what makes games distinctive, arguing that their defining power is to create and shape player agency: by setting rules, goals, and constraints games construct spaces of possibility that invite skill, imagination, and moral reflection. The book treats games as a unique expressive medium, analyzes how rules, fiction, and reward structures produce meaningful experience, and considers design, aesthetics, and ethical controversies across video games, board games, and play more broadly to show why games matter culturally and philosophically.
