Announcement & Call for Papers
April 15-16, 2010 at Columbia University, New York

On April 15th and 16th of 2010, the Synthese Conference will take place at
 
Columbia University. The 2010 edition of the Synthese Conference will 
focus on the theme of epistemology and economics. Recent years have seen 
an increasing amount of interaction between epistemology and economics: 
traditional topics in epistemology, such as the analysis of knowledge, 
have found a significant role in the study of interactive decision making,
 
while traditional topics in economics, such as the analysis of 
rationality, now figure prominently into certain areas of epistemology.

The conference program will feature the following invited speakers:

 =09Alexandru Baltag (Oxford)
 =09Adam Brandenburger (NYU)
 =09Cristina Bicchieri (UPenn)
 =09Christian List (LSE)
 =09Wlodek Rabinowicz (Lund)

The conference program will also include at least five contributed papers.
 
Every paper that is presented at the conference will be considered for the
 
special issue of Synthese that will be based on the conference theme of 
epistemology and economics. Submissions should be relevant to the 
conference theme, broadly construed, and should satisfy the usual 
guidelines for submissions to Synthese.
Submissions for the contributed slots must be received no later than 
February 1, 2010. Notifications of acceptance will be made by February 20,
 
2010. All submissions should be sent to:
