| Title | Researcher |
| Research interests relevant to game philosophy | My research interests in the philosophy of videogames include the relationship between games and fiction, ethics and games, and the aesthetics of games. Outside of videogames my main interest at present is in the epistemology of aesthetic judgements but I also have research interests in the philosophy of religion, metaphysics, and ethics. |
