SPECIAL ISSUE ON
THE PHILOSOPHY OF INFORMATION
GUEST EDITOR: LUCIANO FLORIDI
_________________________________________________________________________
This is the first CFP for the special issue of MINDS AND MACHINES,
dedicated to the Philosophy of Information.
The Philosophy of Information (PI) is understood as the descriptive as
well as normative branch of philosophy primarily concerned with the
conceptual and foundational investigation into the nature of information,
its dynamics and utilisation, that is the constitution and development of
information environments (with their systemic properties, interactions,
internal transformations etc.), information life cycles (the series of
various stages in form and functional activity through which information
can pass, from its initial occurrence to its final utilisation and
possible disappearance) and computation.
PI attempts to provide a unified, explanatory theory of what information
is, not a quantitative theory of data communication (information theory).
On the theoretical side, it includes the philosophy of AI and computing.
>From an environmental perspective, it legislates on what may count as
information and how information should be adequately created and
manipulated (information ethics).
Papers submitted for the special issue of MINDS AND MACHINES will address
1) metatheoretical issues concerning the foundation of PI;
2) methodological aspects of PI;
3) the information-turn in philosophy;
4) issues in classic areas of PI, such as the philosophy of AI,
computational philosophy of science, information-theoretic approaches to
epistemology, philosophy of language and philosophy of mind, computer
ethics and hypertext theory etc.
However, preference will be given to papers dedicated to (1)-(3).
Instructions for Authors are available at

Inquiries and papers can be sent to:
luciano.floridi@philosophy.oxford.ac.uk
Deadline: 1 February, 2002
