Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Exploring the concept of self in the digital realm, the book presents an externalist view of identity that transcends continuity of consciousness. It delves into online friendships and gaming, questioning the metaphysical nature of the online self compared to the offline identity. As more individuals engage with the online world, the book addresses the philosophical implications of this emerging self, filling a gap in the literature by providing a theoretical framework rather than a social scientific analysis.
