The *general subject* of the conference are problems of philosophical 
ontology, epistemology, philosophy of science, and philosophy of mind that 
are formulated or solved using formal methods (as defined in logic, 
mathematics, formal linguistics, theoretical computer science, information 
science, AI) and/or with references to the results of natural and social 
sciences.

The following special topics will be addressed:

- use of formal methods in philosophy,
- philosophical analysis of scientific notions (natural law, matter,
change, cause, chance, time, space, uncertainty, quantum phenomena,
probability, social interaction),
- philosophical analysis of scientific methods (formalisms, rationality,
values and norms, etc.),
- the role and use of scientific notions and methods in philosophy (formal
systems in philosophy, critical analysis, systematic philosophy, etc.).



A *special session* will be organized under the title "Logic, concepts and
communication".  The session will address the following topics: the
intensional foundations of logic and its primitive concepts, logical
foundations of ontology, role of concepts in knowledge, logic and logical
concepts in the context of inter-agent communication (in connection with
the research project IP-2014-09-9378 funded by the Croatian Science
Foundation, http://logiccom.projekti.ifzg.hr/doku.php).



The following *panel discussion* will be held: "Proposal of a BD/MD/PhD in
philosophy on: Philosophy & Computer Science. A perspective for applied
