*Theme & topics*

In contemporary democratic theory and political science, the importance of 
group deliberation is stressed over and again. But what exact form should such 
deliberation take, and what can we expect from it?

From an abstract perspective, group deliberation is a multi-agent process that 
involves two types of dynamics running in parallel. At the social level, there 
is the public exchange of beliefs, arguments, preferences and values that are 
supposedly relevant to a given decision. At the individual level, there is the 
revision of each participant?s personal attitudes, induced by and further 
inducing such exchanges, and the (often defeasible, non-monotonic) reasoning 
processes guiding such revision. Thus conceived, a plethora of formal methods 
from philosophical logic ? broadly speaking ? are relevant to the study of 
deliberation as a democratic ideal: i.a. the theory of rational belief 
revision; dynamic epistemic logic and logics of information dynamics more 
generally; non-monotonic (modal) logic; deontic logic (dealing with 
preferences, values, and their interaction with other information).

In this workshop we welcome all presentations on original contributions in 
philosophical logic and formal philosophy more generally that are relevant for 
the study of deliberative, multi-agent decision processes and procedures.
