Abstract

U ovom radu analizirat će se problemi filozofije igre na primjeru videoigara kao suvremene pojavnosti igre. U prvom dijelu rada preliminarno će se definirati pojmovi filozofije igre, igre i videoigre prema općim enciklopedijama i leksikonima te će se pokušati razgraničiti navedene pojmove s njima srodnima, dok će u drugom dijelu rada na primjeru videoigara biti propitani odabrani problemi filozofije igre, kao što su definicija igre, karakterizacija igre, kategorizacija igre, odnos igre i stvarnosti, igre i umjetnosti te igre i sporta. Nadalje, sagledat će se utemeljenost Huizingove metafore o čarobnom krugu koja opisuje granicu između svijeta igre i stvarnog svijeta te će se kritički razmotriti definicija igre Jespera Juula koja će se potom primijeniti na videoigre. Od znanstvenih metoda pritom će se koristiti prvenstveno komparativna i povijesna metoda. Cilj rada je istražiti ne samo filozofiju igre kao filozofsku disciplinu, već i fenomen videoigara.

Abstract (english)

In this paper the problems of philosophy of play will be analyzed on the example of video games as a modern phenomenon of play. In the first part of the paper the terms of philosophy of play, play/game and video games will be defined according to general encyclopedias and lexicons, and they will also tried to be distinguished from the related ones. In the second part of the paper chosen problems of philosophy of play, like definition of game, characterisation of game, categorization of game, relationship between game and reality, game and art and game and sport, will be examined on the example of video games. Furthermore, soundness of Huizinga’s metaphor about magic circle which describes the limit between gameworld and real world will be observed and Jesper Juul’s definition of game will be critically considered, and then applied to video games. Scientific methods which will be used in the research are primarily comparative and historical method. The goal of this paper is to explore not only philosophy of play as a philosophical discipline, but also the phenomenon of video games.
