Meeting Description:

LOGIC, GAMES AND PHILOSOPHY: FOUNDATIONAL PERSPECTIVES

Prague International Colloquium

28 September -  1 October 2004, Prague, Czech Republic

Games, like logics, are tools for investigating the world, language,
and their relationship. Semantic, dialogic, evolutionary,
interrogative, argumentative, and pragmatic methods have been included
into the toolkit.  Following the recent increase in investment on
games and game-theoretic methods in logic, language, computation and
communication, we still need a better understanding of the
possibilities of forming converging methodologies underlying these
diverse contemporary currents. The purpose of the Prague Conference on
Logic, Games and Philosophy: Foundational Perspectives is to explore
the interfaces between logic and games with the eye on philosophical,
methodological and foundational issues.

Organising Committee:

+ Ondrej Majer (Prague)
+ Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen (Helsinki)

Preference is given to papers that make a definite contribution to
philosophical, methodological and foundational issues underlying game-
theoretic approaches to logical, computational or linguistic research,
including relevant historical and philosophical issues on the Theory
of Games itself.

+ Wittgenstein, C. S. Peirce
