CFP: Concepts and Their applications

Call for Papers

Following the conference “Conceptual Spaces@Work 2016,”we invite submissions of book chapter-manuscriptsfor consideration as a contribution to the edited volume Concepts and their Applications (working title),to be published as a volume of Synthese library. Studies in Epistemology, Logic, Methodology, and Philosop hy of Science, Springer (publisher’s final confirmation pending), edited by Mauri Kaipainen, Antti Hautamäki, Peter Gärdenfors, and Frank Zenker.

All submitted manuscripts undergo peer review. We look for theoretical and applied work concerning the theory of conceptual spaces (Gärdenfors, 2000), which plays a mediating role between the symbolic and the sub-symbolic levels of representation. Conceptual spaces have already been successfully applied to a wider variety of research areas[1].

Topics include but are not limited to items listed below.

    ●  Shared and negotiated concepts 


    ●  Changes and identity of concepts, dynamics of conceptual spaces 


    ●  Actionability of concepts, action and communication 


    ●  Modelling reasoning in conceptual spaces 


    ●  Categorization and laws 


    ●  Conceptual spaces, symbol and embodied grounding 


    ●  AI and robotics 


    ●  Consciousness and creativity
