SUBMISSIONS

PHIBOOK invites authors to submit extensive survey (expositional) papers
(30-50 pages) on philosophical logic (including inductive logic, modal,
alethic logic, temporal logic, epistemic logic, deontic logic, conditional
logic ... with special focus on multi-modal logics and active agency) and

- its relations to notably epistemology, methodology, philosophy of science,
philosophy of language, philosophy of mind ...

- its applications and philosoophical significance in computer science,
information theory, cognitive science, mathematics, linguistics, economics
and game theory ...

These lists are not exhaustive. The survey papers should attempt to be
expositional in nature rather than detailed technical accounts and analyses

The yearbook also invites authors to submit

- papers on new directions of research
- reviews and reports on academic events of the past year
- notifications (or reviews) of major books and important papers of the past
  year

conference (workshop, seminar) and job annoucements.
