Workshop ?Digital Humanities and Philosophy?*
28 June 2013*
VU University Amsterdam*
The Digital Humanities are booming. However, philosophy is
underrepresented in the Digital Humanities. This workshop has three aims:
(i) to present computational methods that can be used by philosophers;
(ii) to present research in which philosophical problems are studied by
means of computational methods; (iii) to reflect on the relevance of
research in the Digital Humanities for research in the humanities and
philosophy.
Everyone interested in the digital humanities and philosophy is cordially
invited!
Attendance is free, but please *register *by sending an e-mail to
