The journal Minds and Machines in collaboration with The American Philosophical Association Newsletter on Philosophy and Computers announces two special issues:
Daniel Dennett and the Computational Turn
Guest Editors: Jon Dorbolo (Oregon State University) and Ron Barnette (Valdosta State University)
Deadline: September 1, 2004.
Daniel Dennett will accept the Barwise Prize at the Eastern American Philosophical Association meeting in December 2004. Conferred by the APA Committee on Computing and Philosophy, the Barwise Prize is awarded for significant and sustained contributions to areas relevant to the philosophical study of computing and information.
To commemorate this award, Minds and Machines and the APA Newsletter on Computing and Philosophy will collaborate to publish two special issues regarding “Daniel Dennett and the Computational Turn.” The Spring 2005 APA Newsletter on Computers and Philosophy issue (Guest Editor: Ron Barnette) and a special issue of Minds and Machines in Fall 2005 (Guest Editor: Jon Dorbolo) will present this work. Submissions made in response to this call will be considered for both publications and authors will be consulted on the outcomes of the review process, with regard to which publication is suitable. An editorial board will conduct the reviews. Members of the editorial board are:
For this publication effort the editors will focus on those aspects of Dennett's work that have implications for the issues where philosophy and computing or information intersect. These include artificial intelligence, artificial life, information ethics, machine learning, mentality and machines, robotics, and education, among others. Both expository and critical approaches to such topics are sought.
Based on the works received, the authors intend to pursue a book proposal and symposia at major meetings in addition to the Newsletter and Journal special issues.
