The c onference theme is\n "The Computational Turn: Past, Presents, Futures?"\n In par t, the phrase "the computational turn"\n refers to the multiple ways in which the\n increasing availability and usability of compu ters allowed\n philosophers to explore a rang e of traditional philosophical\n interests in new ways, often shedding significant new light on \n traditional issues and arguments. Simulta neously, computer\n scientists, mathematician s, and others whose work focused on\n computa tion and computational devices often found their w ork to\n evoke (if not force) reflection and debate precisely on the\n philosophical assum ptions and potential implications of their\n research. These two large streams of development inspired what\n became the first of the Compu ting and Philosophy (CAP)\n conferences in 19 86 (devoted to Computer-Assisted Instruction in\n philosophy). Since 1986, CAP conferences have grown in scope and\n range, to include a bew ildering array of intersections between\n com putation and philosophy as explored across a globa l range of\n cultures and traditions.\n
