 | | TopAbstractThis chapter discusses cognitive abilities that can be developed by means of the metaverse. We are concerned with developing virtual environments capable of providing, in a world full of challenges, more than adventures and excitement meant to push the narrative forward. In the search for recovering classical concepts and integrating them into the metaverse we also seek their episteme so that experience construction can be contemplated by means of lateral thinking, that is “thinking about thinking” in a way similar to the Greek concept of mathema. Can we develop creative thinking? What is the role of games? Which characteristics of games can open up paths to creative thinking? The classical culture and the classical puzzles can give us an opportunity to answer these questions. TopComplete Chapter List|
