Welcome

It is with great pleasure that we present the First Workshop on the Philosophy of Logic and Information, which took place on the weekend of November 3-4, the Philosophy Centre, 10 Merton Street, University of Oxford.

The workshop had two main goals. First, to bring together some of the most active researchers in the field, so that they might be exposed to and interact with the latest research issues and results. Second, to encourage further interdisciplinary work in the area, primarily between those working in philosophy and computer science departments.

 

The workshop was an official event of the IEG, and was generously supported by the Faculty of Philosophy.

 

The workshop proceedings will appear in a dedicated volume of Synthese, special section: Knowledge, Rationality and Action.
