Possible worlds Virtual Worlds

Résumé

This article deals upon the difficulty question of the ontological status of the virtual 1) through a the comparison between actual worlds, fictional worlds in literature and film and online worlds from the perspective of modalities (alethic, epistemic, deontological and axiological). 2) I will show that these worlds differ radically from the modal point of view. 3) Finally I will ask what the theory of possible worlds might contribute to approaching video games, compared with what it has offered for other media: the main advantage of employing possible worlds theory with online worlds is to permit us to discern their ontological properties.
