Please include your contact details in the body of the submission email.

Please make sure that the content of the paper fits the following
description of the scope of the volume:

-------------
Logicians have devoted considerable effort to applying formal methods to
what are now considered core disciplines of analytic philosophy: philosophy
of mathematics, philosophy of language and  metaphysics. Researchers in
these fields have been accused of sharpening their knives without actually
cutting anything of interest to those outside of philosophy. The focus of
formal methods is changing and our intent is to further counter the
impression of idleness with respect to philosophy at large. The focus of
the volume is on those applications of formal methods in philosophy which
might be of interest to people working on philosophical questions of more
direct relevance to human life.
