This edited volume explores the intersection between philosophy and
computing. It features work presented at the 2016 annual meeting of
the International Association for Computing and Philosophy. The 23
contributions to this volume neatly represent a cross section of 40
papers, four keynote addresses, and eight symposia as they cut
across six distinct research agendas. The volume begins with
foundational studies in computation and information, epistemology
and philosophy of science, and logic. The contributions next
examine research into computational aspects of cognition and
philosophy of mind. This leads to a look at moral dimensions of
man-machine interaction as well as issues of trust, privacy, and
justice. This multi-disciplinary or, better yet, a-disciplinary
investigation reveals the fruitfulness of erasing distinctions
among and boundaries between established academic disciplines. This
should come as no surprise. The computational turn itself is
a-disciplinary and no former discipline, whether scientific,
artistic, or humanistic, has remained unchanged. Rigorous
reflection on the nature of these changes opens the door to inquiry
into the nature of the world, what constitutes our knowledge of it,
and our understanding of our place in it. These investigations are
only just beginning. The contributions to this volume make this
clear: many encourage further research and end with open questions.
