Kostas Karpouzis

AI总结:

本文以柏拉图与亚里士多德哲学为框架,分析游戏化的伦理维度,审视各类游戏化元素,倡导以用户福祉为先的平衡设计,推动数字应用的负责任德性设计。

摘要:

游戏化(即将游戏机制整合到非游戏场景的做法)在各类数字平台中日益普及,但其伦理与社会影响却常被忽视。本文深入探讨柏拉图与亚里士多德哲学如何为理解和评估游戏化的伦理维度提供批判性框架。研究运用柏拉图的洞穴寓言与理念论分析游戏化环境中的现实感知,对其真实性及虚拟成就的价值提出质疑;同时,亚里士多德的德性伦理学(强调适度、德性与eudaimonia(即真正完满的幸福))可用于评估游戏化对用户行为及伦理决策的影响。本文通过这些哲学视角,批判性审视了英雄之旅、利他行为、徽章等级、用户自主性等多种游戏化元素,并探讨了游戏化设计者的伦理责任,倡导一种将用户福祉与伦理发展置于商业利益之上的平衡路径。通过将古代哲学洞见与现代数字文化相联结,本研究深化了对游戏化伦理意涵的理解,凸显了数字应用中负责任、有德性的设计的必要性。

英文摘要:

Gamification, the integration of game mechanics in non-game settings, has become increasingly prevalent in various digital platforms; however, its ethical and societal impacts are often overlooked. This paper delves into how Platonic and Aristotelian philosophies can provide a critical framework for understanding and evaluating the ethical dimensions of gamification. Plato's allegory of the cave and theory of forms are used to analyse the perception of reality in gamified environments, questioning their authenticity and the value of virtual achievements, while Aristotle's virtue ethics, with its emphasis on moderation, virtue, and eudaimonia (true and full happiness), can help assess how gamification influences user behaviour and ethical decision-making. The paper critically examines various gamification elements, such as the hero's journey, altruistic actions, badge levels, and user autonomy, through these philosophical lenses, and addresses the ethical responsibilities of gamification designers, advocating for a balanced approach that prioritizes user well-being and ethical development over commercial interests. By bridging ancient philosophical insights with modern digital culture, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the ethical implications of gamification, emphasizing the need for responsible and virtuous design in digital applications.
