Introduction to This Volume

Abstract

The 2016 meeting of the International Association for Computing and Philosophy brought together a highly interdisciplinary consortium of scholars eager to share their current research at the increasingly important intersection of a number of fields, including computer science, robotics engineering, artificial intelligence, logic, biology, cognitive science, economics, sociology, and philosophy. This introductory chapter serves to organize and connect the discussions across these domains of inquiry, describing both the insights and broad relevance of the research well represented in this volume.
