Abstract

This review is on Prof. Yücel Dursun's book Oyunun Ontolojisi, published by Doğu Batı in 2014 as part of the philosophy series and published in its second edition in 2019. The book examines the concept of play from an ontological perspective in a broad philosophical perspective and seeks answers to questions that focus on its existence. The review also discusses and appreciates recent attempts to extend the study of the ontology of play to video game ontologies.

Keywords
