Cyberpsychology is a relatively new discipline that is growing at a quick rate. However, little of the work on cyberpsychology focuses on its philosophical implications. This book seeks to address this gap by serving as an introduction for cyberpsychologists and philosophers to the overlap between their disciplines. Written for an interdisciplinary audience, it explores potential areas for collaboration and enrichment between the fields, making it an essential resource for students, researchers, and practitioners of both cyberpsychology and philosophy. Cyberpsychologists will discover philosophical methods that can enhance their research, while philosophers will encounter concrete examples of cyberpsychology studies that can inform their inquiries into metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and the philosophy of religion. This book is the third volume in a planned tetralogy, complementing Cyberpsychology and the Brain: The Interaction of Neuroscience and Affective Computing (2017) and Ethical Challenges in Digital Psychology and Cyberpsychology (2019).

‘Professor Parsons' book offers a compelling account of humanity's entry into the era of the Fifth Industrial Revolution, with a particular focus on the intersection of human cognition and digital technology. It challenges conventional paradigms by encouraging readers to examine the ethical, metaphysical, and epistemological frameworks underpinning our algorithmically-augmented minds. This work provides a novel conceptualization of digital personality and serves as a catalyst for deeper inquiry into the evolving integration between humans and technology.'

‘In this book, Parsons addresses traditional philosophical theories and their applications in the digital age. This timely exploration offers profound insights into humanity amid rapid technological change in the age of AI and Virtual Humans. It provides an accessible narrative yet addresses complex issues – a ‘must read'!'

Andrew J. Campbell - Professor and Chair of the Cyberpsychology Research Group, University of Sydney

‘Philosophy and Cyberpsychology is a bold and timely work, offering a framework for thinking deeply about who we are in a world shaped by digital technologies. Parsons draws on his esteemed scholarship at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and ethics to provide this brilliant and much-needed resource.'
