DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180626
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180627
LOCATION:Brussels, Belgium
DESCRIPTION:The workshops in the Philosophy of Inf
 ormation bring together various philosophical pers
 pectives on the nature and dynamics of information
 , and focus in particular on novel philosophical q
 uestions that arise in the information society. Th
 e central theme for the 9th workshop in the series
  is information visualisation.  Our aim is to focu
 s on informational artefacts that encode or convey
  information in order to try and explain why visua
 lisations can play a certain epistemic role and wh
 y certain visualisation are more effective than ot
 hers. A special attention will be given to the stu
 dy of how scientists rely on visualisations and ho
 w visual artefacts are designed in the sciences. O
 n this basis, we wish to explore convergences betw
 een the philosophy of information and the philosop
 hy of science as well as between the formal scienc
 es (logic, computing) and the philosophy of inform
 ation.  We welcome contributions on the conference
  topics, and encourage scholars of various discipl
 inary backgrounds to explore the lines of inquiry 
 we proposed.
