Join us for the final session of the “Philosophical Survival School”, devoted to the presence of philosophy in computer games and, more broadly, in cultural texts.
Although philosophy is associated above all with books, it can also be found in games, which shape our imagination and the way we understand the world. Contemporary digital culture is becoming a space in which philosophical ideas take on new forms.
– Can computer games be a vehicle for philosophy?
– How do they influence the way we perceive the world?
– Can entertainment also be a space for reflection?
We will consider all these questions and many more during the open discussion. It is an opportunity to look at games from a new, philosophical perspective.

Philosophical Survival School: about the project
The “Philosophical Survival School” is a series of open discussions, debates and lectures created by the Wrocław Centre for Social Development (WCRS) in cooperation with the Applied Philosophy Student Research Group at the University of Wrocław. The third edition of the series begins on 17 April and will explore questions in the philosophy of science, the philosophy of yoga, rhetoric in the media, Władysław Tatarkiewicz’s theory of happiness and philosophical interpretations of computer games. The initiative is aimed at everyone who seeks philosophical sensitivity in getting to know themselves and the world around them, and who would also like to share their own experience.
