Formal philosophy relies increasingly on simulations\, and sometimes on \;empirical test\, coming closer to both computer-\, cognitive- and social \;sciences. Some examples are learning-theoretic models of inquiry\, network \;theory-based approaches in social epistemology\, and game-theoretic \;evolutionary approaches of communication. The aim of the G.I.R.L.'12 \;Conference is to bring together researchers in philosophy\, cognitive science \;and artificial intelligence\, to investigate new areas where the game- and \;learning-theoretic simulation approaches can lead to fruitful results.

A central topic is interactive rationality\, or rational behavior that \;emerges from interaction. Unlike &ldquo\;rational interaction&rdquo\;&mdash\;its much better \;known sister&mdash\;it does not presuppose agents to be rational to begin with. \;Examples are given by evolutionary game-theory\, which studies rational \;(equilibrium-reaching) behavior emerging from interaction of non-reflective \;agents\; or learning-theoretic models of inquiry showing how inquiry can \;solve inductive problems\, while substituting truth-tracking efficiency to \;reflexive justification.
