CfP topical issue of Open Philosophy on "Computer Modeling in Philosophy", Deadline: 28 Feb 2019

CALL FOR PAPERS
for a topical issue of Open Philosophy
"Computer Modeling in Philosophy"

Open Philosophy (http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/opphil) invites 
submissions for the topical issue ?Computer Modeling in Philosophy,? 
edited by Patrick Grim (Stony Brook/University of Michigan).

Computational modeling opens new prospects for philosophical exploration 
and argument. The role played by logic in 20th century philosophy, it can 
be argued, will be played by computational modeling in the 21st. This 
special issue is devoted first and foremost to examples of computer-aided 
or computer-instantiated modeling across the discipline, including but not 
limited to philosophy of science, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, 
theory of evolution, logic, philosophy of language, epistemology, and 
social and political philosophy. Computational techniques range from 
agent-based modeling to neural networks and data mining. Results can 
expand the role of intuition pumps and thought experiments, can be used to 
measure the robustness and parameter-sensitivity of basic models, can put 
techniques from other disciplines to work in philosophical analysis, can 
track unexpected consequences of basic assumptions, and can force 
philosophical assumptions to be made explicit. Beyond new answers, 
computational techniques can highlight new questions, including questions 
regarding model validation, complexity, computability, representation, and 
reality.

Authors publishing their articles in the special issue will benefit from:

· transparent, comprehensive and fast peer review,

· efficient route to fast-track publication and full advantage of De 
Gruyter's e-technology,

· free language assistance for authors from non-English speaking regions,
