The workshop "Philosophy and Computation" aims to be a platform for various \;discussions concerning \;the use of computability in philosophy \;(for example\, \;how computational complexity constraints can contribute to explain human understanding) and also \;questions concerning the philosophical investigation of computation \;(like questions related to \;Church-Turing thesis).
\nThe workshop is inspired by the celebration of Turing&rsquo\;s Centenary. More information about the celebrations can be found at the following website: \;http://www.turingcentenary.eu/
The main objective of the workshop is to gather international specialists\, philosophers\, cognitive scientists and computer scientists\, who will be given an opportunity to present their research and \;time to discuss important topics related to philosophy and computation. In addition\, there are \;four slots \;for contributed papers. People who would like to participate \;in the workshop are invited to send us an abstract of a proposed talk (details below). The selected \;contributors will have their travel and accommodation costs covered by the organizers. \;
Themes for contributed papers include (but are not limited to):
