Abstract: We can enhance discussions of simulation by distinguishing between the rationale for using simulation and the philosophical tools for conceptualizing it. I offer my thoughts, inspired by this symposium, on the proposition that simulation is little more than stuff of our minds, a figment of our imagination. I also argue that philosophy is important to all simulation/gaming work.

Keywords: enhancing discussion; figment of the imagination; imagination; mind; philosophy of simulation; philosophical tools; reification; simulation; simulation/gaming; thinking (search for similar items in EconPapers)
