    				SPECIAL ISSUE ON
    
    			THE PHILOSOPHY OF INFORMATION
    
    			GUEST EDITOR: LUCIANO FLORIDI
    _________________________________________________________________________
    
    This is the first CFP for the special issue of MINDS AND MACHINES,
    dedicated to the Philosophy of Information.
    
    The Philosophy of Information (PI) is understood as the descriptive as
    well as normative branch of philosophy primarily concerned with the
    conceptual and foundational investigation into the nature of information,
    its dynamics and utilisation, that is the constitution and development of
    information environments (with their systemic properties, interactions,
    internal transformations etc.), information life cycles (the series of
    various stages in form and functional activity through which information
    can pass, from its initial occurrence to its final utilisation and
    possible disappearance) and computation.
    
    PI attempts to provide a unified, explanatory theory of what information
    is, not a quantitative theory of data communication (information theory).
    On the theoretical side, it includes the philosophy of AI and computing.
      >From an environmental perspective, it legislates on what may count as
    information and how information should be adequately created and
    manipulated (information ethics).
    
    Papers submitted for the special issue of MINDS AND MACHINES will address
    1)	metatheoretical issues concerning the foundation of PI;
    2)	methodological aspects of PI;
    3)	the information-turn in philosophy;
    4)	issues in classic areas of PI, such as the philosophy of AI,
    computational philosophy of science, information-theoretic approaches to
    epistemology, philosophy of language and philosophy of mind, computer
    ethics and hypertext theory etc.
    
    However, preference will be given to papers dedicated to (1)-(3).
