Subject: 1st Synthese Annual Conference: the future of
formal methods in philosophy
1st Synthese Annual Conference
Synthese hosts its first annual conference at the Carlsberg Academy in
Copenhagen, October 3- 5 , 2007. The conference is sponsored by PHIS -
The Danish Research School in Philosophy, History of Ideas and History
of Science and Springer.
This first Synthese Annual Conference is the venue for discussing the
future of formal methods in philosophy.
Title
Between Logic and Intuition: David Lewis and the Future of Formal
Methods in Philosophy
Abstract
David Lewis is one of the most important figures in contemporary
philosophy. His approach balances elegantly between the use of rigorous
formal methods and sound philosophical intuitions. The benefit of such
an approach is reflected in the substantial impact his philosophical
insights have had not only in many core areas of philosophy, but also in
neighboring disciplines ranging from computer science to game theory and
linguistics. The interplay between logic and intuition to obtain results
of both philosophical and interdisciplinary importance makes Lewis' work
a prime example of formal philosophy.
Lewis' work exemplifies the fruitful interplay between logic and
intuition that is central to contemporary philosophy. This conference
serves as a tribute to Lewis and as a venue for adressing questions
concerning the relationship between logic and philosophical intuition.
Call for Papers
Synthese invites papers on the work of David Lewis and formal philosophy
in accordance with the conference abstract. The final papers should be
submitted electronically directly to editor-in-chief Vincent F.
Hendricks, vincent_at_ruc.dk, classified as a "SAC"-submission in the
subject entry. The deadline for submitting a paper for consideration is
April 1, 2007. Notification of acceptance for presentation at the
conference is August 1, 2007.
Submit to Editor-in-Chief: Vincent F. Hendricks
Invited Speakers:
John Collins, Alan Hajek, Hannes Leitgeb, Rohit Parikh and L.A. Paul
Program Committee and Conference Chairs:
Johan van Benthem, Vincent F. Hendricks, John Symons (SYNTHESE) and Stig
Andur Pedersen (PHIS)
Conference Manager:
Pelle Guldborg Hansen
Publication
A selection of the best papers will be published as an anthology in the
Synthese Library book series.
We hope you will contribute to this conference. In order for your
colleagues and friends to also take part, please feel free to forward
this message to others interested in the field. Last but not least, we
look forward to seeing your contribution in one of the future issues!

CALL FOR PAPERS
6th International Conference on
Conceptions of Library and Information Science:
"Featuring the Future"
Swedish School of Library and Information Science
University College of Boras & Goteborg University
Boras, Sweden
13-16 August 2007

*************
Aim of CoLIS
CoLIS is a series of international conferences for which the general
aim is to provide a broad forum for the exploration and exchange of
ideas in the field of library and information science (LIS). To be
examined at CoLIS 6 are theoretical and empirical research trends in
LIS, together with socio-cultural and technical issues relating to our
understanding of the various roles, natures, uses and associated
relationships of information, information systems, information
processes, and information networks.
As in previous conferences in the series, this one, too, promotes an
interdisciplinary approach to research. In connection to the main
conference, both educational and doctoral forums are provided.
*************
Focus of the conference
Important areas to be addressed at this conference are the efforts that
are being made to increase the impact in, and of, LIS research in the
knowledge society. Thus, the focus of the conference will be on the
development of the LIS research field, as well as on the influence of
LIS research efforts in the society at large.
Conference contributions such as theoretical and methodological
discussions are welcomed, to aid in the efforts of forming a foundation
of LIS research approaches. Reports of successful examples are also
valued submissions, to help gain an understanding of the features that
can make LIS research prosper alongside contemporary research fields in
the knowledge society.
CoLIS 6 encourages submissions that explore the conference topic from
different perspectives in LIS. The overall theme covers areas such as
theoretical growth; methodological practices; conceptual frameworks;
empirical settings; interdisciplinary relationships; impact on, and of,
professions; and other related topics. Submissions from other
disciplinary backgrounds (science, technology, humanities, and social
sciences) are also welcomed.
*************
CoLIS 6 has four general themes:
* Reframing LIS from Different Perspectives
This sub-theme examines LIS research from a different or neighbouring
perspective. Papers submitted in this sub-theme should clearly outline
and describe the perspective being investigated, how it compares with
traditional or main-stay perspectives found in LIS research, and how it
can extend or influence this view. What does this new perspective add or
contribute to the LIS field? Where is this new perspective taking the
field in the future?
* LIS in Contemporary Society
This sub-theme examines the LIS field in today*s contemporary
society. How well does LIS practice and research correspond with changes
in today*s information society? Recent technical advances in computing
and communications are revolutionizing the way people need, seek, and
use information. Papers submitted to this sub-theme will explore and
discuss the degree to which the LIS field has responded to such changes
and advances. Is the traditional LIS field still relevant in today*s
contemporary society? How will contemporary society change or influence
LIS research and practice in the future?
* LIS versus New Research and Professional Fields
This sub-theme explores the rise and development of new research and
professional fields that traditionally would not have been associated
with the LIS field. Are these new fields really that different? How
should the LIS field respond? Is
traditional LIS research and practice
informing these new fields? Is the LIS field recognized for its
contributions to these new fields? How should the LIS field react in the
future to the rise and development of these new fields?
* New Research Methods in LIS
This sub-theme explores new research methods in the LIS field. What are
these new methods? Why are they needed? How do they differ from past
traditional research methods? What types of research methods are needed
in LIS in the future?
*************
Submissions:
We invite authors to submit research papers, short papers, panels and
posters.
Important dates:
Deadline for all submissions: March 1, 2007
Notification to authors: April 20, 2007
Final version of paper due: June 15, 2007
All accepted research papers will be published by the electronic
journal Information Research as a supplement to the October 2007 issue.
Information Research is a peer-reviewed, ISI-indexed journal.
