Abstract (croatian)

U radu se iznose kategorije prisutnosti filozofijske dimenzije u pripovjednom sadržaju videoigara s ciljem postavljanja temelja za pomnije promišljanje praktičkog i povijesnog odnosa filozofije i videoigara. Uvodno se opisuje pojavljivanje filozofijske dimenzije putem pripovjednog sadržaja pete generacije videoigara (1993.–2001.) te naznačuje važnost toga događanja. Središnje mjesto rada donosi opise kategorija prisutnosti, razlikujući (1) videoigre koje svojim pripovjednim sadržajem svraćaju pozornost na probleme filozofijske prirode, (2) videoigre koje unutar svog pripovjednog sadržaja laički filozofiraju o problemima filozofijske prirode te (3) videoigre koje se za potrebe svojeg pripovjednog sadržaja služe stručnom filozofijskom građom. Zaključno se u osnovnim crtama razmatra problem kategorije videoigara kao potpunih filozofijskih djela, takvih u kojima bi se uklanjanjem njihove filozofijske dimenzije u potpunosti raspali pripovjedni sadržaj i igraće mehanike te bi u potpunosti izgubile svoj smisao.

Abstract (english)

In the paper, laid out are the categories of the presence of the philosophical dimension of narrative content in video games, to establish a ground for more thorough thinking of practical and historical relation of philosophy and video games. In the introductory, described is the appearance of the philosophical dimension of the narrative content in the fifth generation of video games (1993–2001), and the importance of that happening is highlighted. The central part of the paper describes the categories of the presence, differentiating among (1) video games that use its narrative content to focus attention to issues of philosophical nature, (2) video games that have content within which they philosophise in layman terms about philosophical problems, and (3) videogames that apply professional philosophy to construct narrative content. Conclusively, the paper briefly discusses the issue of the category of games as complete philosophical works, understood in such a way that by removing their philosophical dimension both their narrative content and playing mechanisms would collapse and they would fully lose their meaning.
