Notes on contributor

Award-winning game designer and acclaimed philosopher Dr Chris Bateman was the first person in the world to attain a doctorate in the aesthetics of play and games, and has worked on nearly fifty published games. His ‘imaginative investigations’ trilogy won praise from Mary Midgley, Kendall Walton, and Michael Moorcock. The first book, Imaginary Games (2011) examines imagination in games and art, asking if games can be art or whether all art is a kind of game. The second, The Mythology of Evolution (2012), explores the role of imagination in the sciences, asking if it possible to present the story of life without distorting it. The final book, Chaos Ethics (2014), considers the role of imagination in morality, and defends a concept of moral chaos. His latest book is the brief enquiry Wikipedia Knows Nothing (available as a free PDF), which claims that knowledge is best understood as a practice.
