The Social Furniture of Virtual Worlds
Disputatio 11 (55):345-369 (2019)
Abstract
David Chalmers argues that virtual objects exist in the form of data structures that have causal powers. I argue that there is a large class of virtual objects that are social objects and that do not depend upon data structures for their existence. I also argue that data structures are themselves fundamentally social objects. Thus, virtual objects are fundamentally social objects.Author's Profile
