978-90-04-69145-2 (ISBN)
This book offers a comprehensive and accessible characterisation of the first-person shooter videogame genre. After providing an overview of the history of the first-person shooter videogame genre, Alberto Oya comments on the various defining peculiarities of this genre, namely the first-person perspective, the shooting gaming mechanics, the heroic in-game narrative or background story, and multiplayer gaming. Oya also argues that educators can use first-person shooter videogames to encourage their students to reflect on historical and philosophical issues.
Alberto Oya, Ph.D. (2020), is a Research Fellow (Investigador Doutorado Contratado) at the Instituto de Filosofia da Nova (Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal). He has published over thirty papers in professional philosophical peer-reviewed journals and he is the author of the monograph Unamuno's Religious Fictionalism (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020).
