October 2020, 2020 Midwest PhilMath Workshop, Virtual
Because of the coronavirus, we unfortunately won?t be able to meet in person. But we plan to have a virtual version of the workshop via Zoom. We hope that even though we can't have the usual nice meals, we will be able to do some good philosophy of math together as usual. The plan is to meet for several Wednesday afternoons in a row ('afternoon' from the point of view of the Eastern US time zone) during the month of October. Typical sessions will consist of two talks, with the details to be firmed up as the program takes shape.
If you would like to present a talk at the Workshop, please send us a paper, or an extended abstract, by September 1, 2020. Talks will be scheduled for about 40 minutes (or shorter), and there will be time for discussion as usual.
29 August - 8 September 2020, 24th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI 2020), Virtual
The biennial European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) is Europe's premier venue for presenting scientific results in AI. Under the general theme 'Paving the way towards Human-Centric AI', the 24th edition of ECAI was to be held in Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO's World Heritage City which is the destination of unique Routes that cross all Europe since the Middle Ages.
Since the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the mobility constraints still in place make it difficult planning, the organizers believe that the most reasonable decision is to hold ECAI 2020 fully online, and have announced the new Digital ECAI2020.
31 August - 4 September 2020, Workshop Continuity, Computability, Constructivity - From Logic to Algorithms (CCC 2020) , Online
CCC is a workshop series that brings together researchers applying logical methods to the development of algorithms, with a particular focus on computation with infinite data, where issues of continuity, computability and constructivity play major roles. Specific topics include exact real number computation, computable analysis, effective descriptive set theory, constructive analysis, and related areas. The overall aim is to apply logical methods in these disciplines to provide a sound foundation for obtaining exact and provably correct algorithms for computations with real numbers and other continuous data, which are of increasing importance in safety critical applications and scientific computation.
The workshop was planned to take place in Faro, Portugal. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the workshop will now be online.
31 August - 7 October 2020, The Joint Ontology Workshops Episode 6 (JOWO 2020), Virtual
The Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO) is a venue of workshops that, together, address a wide spectrum of topics related to ontology research, ranging from Cognitive Science to Knowledge Representation, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Philosophy, and Linguistics.
Workshops and tutorials at JOWO 2020 are events whose scientific program is independently established by the workshop organizers. Workshops can be events that provide a forum for the discussion of topics broadly related to ontologies, formal ontology, and knowledge management and their application in information science or other areas. JOWO is especially suitable for interdisciplinary and innovative formats.
At the JOWO 2020 "The Bolzano Summer of Knowledge" Edition, workshops and tutorials will be taking place virtually between August 31st and October 7th 2020, and will be affiliated with the conferences EKAW, FOIS, and ICBO.

6 - 9 September 2020, 1st Symposium on Formal Approaches to Vagueness in Relation to Mereology (FVRM'20), Online
Mereology is a very plural subject in which individual researchers may work in multiple potentially incompatible perspectives. It is well-known that mereological methods are important in AI and formalizing human reasoning. In particular, these are relevant in formal approaches to vagueness and point-free reasoning. The main aim of the symposium session is to connect researchers in formal approaches to vagueness and ontology from applied mereological perspectives. All submissions are expected to have a strong focus on applications or potential applications.
Update: Because of the ongoing pandemic, FVRM'20 has been merged with AAIA 2020 (15th International Symposium on Advanced Artificial Intelligence in Applications), which as part of FedCSIS 2020 will be organized as a tele/video-based conference.

9 - 11 September 2020, Seventeenth International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2020), Virtual
The conference is concerned with the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data.
The topics of interest include foundational work on various models and approaches for describing computability and complexity over the real numbers. They also include complexity-theoretic investigations, both foundational and with respect to concrete problems, and new implementations of exact real arithmetic, as well as further developments of already existing software packages. We hope to gain new insights into computability-theoretic aspects of various computational questions from physics and from other fields involving computations over the real numbers.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemia CCA 2020 cannot take place in Bologna, as originally intended. The entire conference will take place virtually on the Zoom online conference platform.

We would like to invite you as well to a satellite Workshop on Substructural Logics and Metainferences to be held on August 28th.
7 - 11 September 2020, 11th International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC'20), Online
Computational Creativity (or CC) is a discipline with its roots in Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Engineering, Design, Psychology and Philosophy that explores the potential for computers to be autonomous creators in their own right. ICCC is an annual conference that welcomes papers on different aspects of CC, on systems that exhibit varying degrees of creative autonomy, on frameworks that offer greater clarity or computational felicity for thinking about machine (and human) creativity, on methodologies for building or evaluating CC systems, on approaches to teaching CC in schools and universities or to promoting societal uptake of CC as a field and as a technology, and so on.
The evolution of the COVID-19 crisis, the concerns about safety and well-being of the participants and the current travel constraints have taken the organisation of turning ICCC’20 100% digital.
8 - 11 September 2020, 23rd International Conference on Text, Speech and Dialogue (TSD 2020), Online
TSD series evolved as a prime forum for interaction between researchers in both spoken and written language processing from all over the world. The conference program will include presentation of invited papers, oral presentations, and poster/demonstration sessions. Papers will be presented in plenary or topic oriented sessions with sufficient time for discussions of the issues raised.The TSD 2020 conference will be accompanied by one-day satellite workshops or project meetings with organizational support by the TSD organizing committee.
Even though the COVID-19 spread is kept in limits in the Czech Republic, government regulations influence travelling possibilities. As the situation in September cannot be easily predicted, the TSD 2020 PC members have decided to choose the virtual TSD 2020 conference as the only option.
9 - 11 September 2020, Seventeenth International Conference on Computability and Complexity in Analysis (CCA 2020), Virtual
The conference is concerned with the theory of computability and complexity over real-valued data.
The topics of interest include foundational work on various models and approaches for describing computability and complexity over the real numbers. They also include complexity-theoretic investigations, both foundational and with respect to concrete problems, and new implementations of exact real arithmetic, as well as further developments of already existing software packages. We hope to gain new insights into computability-theoretic aspects of various computational questions from physics and from other fields involving computations over the real numbers.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemia CCA 2020 cannot take place in Bologna, as originally intended. The entire conference will take place virtually on the Zoom online conference platform.

12 - 18 September 2020, 17th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2020), Virtual
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) is an exciting, well-established field of research. In KRR a fundamental assumption is that an agent's knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern intelligent systems. In recent years KRR has contributed to new and emerging fields including the semantic web, computational biology, and the development of software agents. The biennial International Conference on the Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a leading forum for timely, in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge.

14 - 17 September 2020, 11th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS 2020), Bolzano (Italy)
The advent of complex information systems that rely on robust, coherent and formal representations of their subject matter, has led to the exploitation of ontological analysis and ontology-based representation. The systematic study of such analysis and representation is at the center of the modern discipline of formal ontology, which is a general theory of the types of entities and relations making up domains of interest. Researchers in many domains engage with formal ontology to provide a solid foundation for their work.
The FOIS conference is a meeting point for all researchers with an interest in formal ontology. FOIS 2020 includes a number of activities: FOIS conference (single track program), workshops (in conjunction with EKAW 2020 and ICBO 2020) ,tutorials (in conjunction with EKAW 2020 and ICBO 2020), a young researchers symposium, a demo and industry track, and an ontology show and tell. As in previous years, FOIS 2020 aims to be a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication.
Sadly because of the COVID-19 FOIS 2020 was not able to occur as planned. While papers were reviewed and the proceedings will be published by IOS Press, the physical conference has been cancelled. In recognition of FOIS’ important social function within the applied ontology community, it was also decided to run a FOIS edition in September 2021. FOIS 2021 will happen in Bolzano, and it will include all the events originally planned for FOIS 2020 including the Early Career Symposium, the Ontology Show and Tell, as well as the Demo and Industrial Track.

The biennial International Conference on the Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a leading forum for timely, in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge.
Due to the latest developments in Greece with the COVID19 pandemic, the hybrid format (physical and virtual participation) that was planned for KR2020 in September has been canceled. The new format, and possibly new dates, for KR2020 will be announced shortly.
13 - 18 September 2020, 5th Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Theorem Proving (AITP 2020), Aussois, France or Virtual
Large-scale semantic processing and strong computer assistance of mathematics and science is our inevitable future. New combinations of AI and reasoning methods and tools deployed over large mathematical and scientific corpora will be instrumental to this task. The AITP conference is the forum for discussing how to get there as soon as possible, and the force driving the progress towards that.
There will be several focused sessions on AI for ATP, ITP and mathematics, Formal Abstracts, linguistic processing of mathematics/science, modern AI and big-data methods, and several sessions with contributed talks. The focused sessions will be based on invited talks and discussion oriented.
Due to the Coronavirus travel bans, the conference has been moved to September 13-18, 2020. The next evaluation will be done in mid-August. A combination of a real-world meeting with some online talks is an option.
14 - 17 September 2020, 11th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS 2020), Bolzano (Italy)
The advent of complex information systems that rely on robust, coherent and formal representations of their subject matter, has led to the exploitation of ontological analysis and ontology-based representation. The systematic study of such analysis and representation is at the center of the modern discipline of formal ontology, which is a general theory of the types of entities and relations making up domains of interest. Researchers in many domains engage with formal ontology to provide a solid foundation for their work.
The FOIS conference is a meeting point for all researchers with an interest in formal ontology. FOIS 2020 includes a number of activities: FOIS conference (single track program), workshops (in conjunction with EKAW 2020 and ICBO 2020) ,tutorials (in conjunction with EKAW 2020 and ICBO 2020), a young researchers symposium, a demo and industry track, and an ontology show and tell. As in previous years, FOIS 2020 aims to be a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication.
Sadly because of the COVID-19 FOIS 2020 was not able to occur as planned. While papers were reviewed and the proceedings will be published by IOS Press, the physical conference has been cancelled. In recognition of FOIS’ important social function within the applied ontology community, it was also decided to run a FOIS edition in September 2021. FOIS 2021 will happen in Bolzano, and it will include all the events originally planned for FOIS 2020 including the Early Career Symposium, the Ontology Show and Tell, as well as the Demo and Industrial Track.
16 - 20 September 2020, The 22nd International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (EKAW 2020), Virtual
The 22nd International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management concerns all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, modeling and managing knowledge, and the role of knowledge in the construction of systems and services for the semantic web, knowledge management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent information integration, and so on.
The special theme of EKAW 2020 is "Ethical and Trustworthy Knowledge Engineering". While recent reported breaches relate predominantly to machine learning systems, it is not impossible to envision ethical breaches in knowledge engineering more broadly and, conversely, devise methods and techniques to ensure no or minimal harm in knowledge acquisition, modelling, and knowledge-driven information systems. EKAW 2020 will put a special emphasis on the importance of Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management to keep fostering trustworthy systems.
There will be two workshops at EKAW 2020: the 5th International Workshop on Ontology Modularity, Contextuality, and Evolution (WOMoCoE), and the Workshop on Scalable Knowledge Graph Engineering (SKALE).
31 August - 7 October 2020, The Joint Ontology Workshops Episode 6 (JOWO 2020), Virtual

Workshops and tutorials at JOWO 2020 are events whose scientific program is independently established by the workshop organizers. Workshops can be events that provide a forum for the discussion of topics broadly related to ontologies, formal ontology, and knowledge management and their application in information science or other areas. JOWO is especially suitable for interdisciplinary and innovative formats.
At the JOWO 2020 "The Bolzano Summer of Knowledge" Edition, workshops and tutorials will be taking place virtually between August 31st and October 7th 2020, and will be affiliated with the conferences EKAW, FOIS, and ICBO.
12 - 18 September 2020, 17th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR 2020), Virtual
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR) is an exciting, well-established field of research. In KRR a fundamental assumption is that an agent's knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern intelligent systems. In recent years KRR has contributed to new and emerging fields including the semantic web, computational biology, and the development of software agents. The biennial International Conference on the Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KR) is a leading forum for timely, in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge.

17 - 18 September 2020, Workshop on Causal Reasoning and Explanation in Logic Programming (CAUSAL 2020), Virtual
Sophisticated causal reasoning has long been prevalent in human society and continues to have an undeniable impact on the advancement of science, technology, medicine, and other significant fields. From the development of ancient tools to modern roots of causal analysis in business and industry, reasoning about causality and having the ability to explain causal mechanisms enables us to identify how an outcome of interest came to be and gives insight into how to bring about, or even prevent, similar outcomes in future scenarios.
This ICLP 2020 workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners of logic programming with a dedicated focus on methods and trends emerging from the study of causality and explanation. The workshop will present the latest research and application developments in these areas and provide opportunities to discuss current and future research directions and relationships to other fields (e.g. Machine Learning, Explainable AI, Diagnosis, Natural Language Processing and Understanding, Philosophy of Science). An important expected outcome of this workshop is to collect first-hand feedback from the ICLP community about the role and placement of causal reasoning and explanation in the landscape of modern computer theory as well as in the software industry.

18 - 21 September 2020, 25th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2020), Virtual
The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) focus on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge, at the crossroads of artificial intelligence, human cognition, computational linguistics, and related areas of computer science and cognitive science. The ICCS conferences evolved from a series of seven annual workshops on conceptual graphs, starting with an informal gathering hosted by John F. Sowa in 1986. Recently, graph-based knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) paradigms are getting more and more attention. With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to its human users. This year ICCS 2020 is a part of 'Bolzano Summer of Knowledge' which will take place in Bolzano, Italy during the month of September, 2020.
In view of the present circumstances around the COVID-19 epidemic, the ICSS conference will happen as an online event.
18 - 24 September 2020, 36th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2020), Virtual
Since the first conference held in Marseille in 1982, the International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2020) has been the premier international event for presenting research in logic programming.
Contributions are solicited in all areas of logic programming, including but not restricted to Foundations, Declarative Programming, Related Paradigms and Synergies, Implementation and Applications. Besides the main track, ICLP 2020 will host an Applications Track, a Sister Conferences and Journal Presentation Track, a Special Session on Women in Logic Programming, and a Research Challenges in Logic Programming Track. In addition to the presentations of accepted papers, the technical program will include invited talks, advanced tutorials, the doctoral consortium, and several workshops. A school on logic programming will be held before the conference.
18 - 24 September 2020, The Seventh Workshop on Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP 2020), Online
Probabilistic logic programming (PLP) approaches have received much attention in this century. They address the need to reason about relational domains under uncertainty arising in a variety of application domains, such as bioinformatics, the semantic web, robotics, and many more. Developments in PLP include new languages that combine logic programming with probability theory, as well as algorithms that operate over programs in these formalisms.
PLP will be online this year and will be co-located with ICLP 2020. The workshop encompasses all aspects of combining logic, algorithms, programming and probability, and provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, presentation of results and preliminary work.
18 - 24 September 2020, Second Workshop on Epistemic Extensions of Logic Programming (EELP 2020), Virtual
Several successful logic programming languages, evidenced by the availability of a multitude of solvers, industrial applications, and an active research community, have been proposed in the literature. Researchers have long recognized the need for epistemic operators in these languages. This led to a flurry of research on this topic, and renewed interest in recent years. A central question is that of the definition of a rigorous and intuitive semantics for such epistemic operators, which is still subject of ongoing research. Notions of equivalence, structural properties, and the inter-relationships between logic programming languages and established logics are all subjects being actively investigated. Another important topic is that of practical solvers to compute answers to logic programs that contain epistemic operators. Several solvers are actively developed, building on established solvers, or using rewriting-based approaches. For practical applications, additional language features are actively explored in order to be able to apply epistemic extensions of logic programming langauges to practical problems. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate discussions regarding these topics and a productive exchange of ideas.
This workshop is part of the International Conference of Logic Programming (ICLP) 2020. In keeping with the main conference, the workshop will be held as a fully virtual event this year.

18 - 24 September 2020, Second Workshop on Epistemic Extensions of Logic Programming (EELP 2020), Virtual
Several successful logic programming languages, evidenced by the availability of a multitude of solvers, industrial applications, and an active research community, have been proposed in the literature. Researchers have long recognized the need for epistemic operators in these languages. This led to a flurry of research on this topic, and renewed interest in recent years. A central question is that of the definition of a rigorous and intuitive semantics for such epistemic operators, which is still subject of ongoing research. Notions of equivalence, structural properties, and the inter-relationships between logic programming languages and established logics are all subjects being actively investigated. Another important topic is that of practical solvers to compute answers to logic programs that contain epistemic operators. Several solvers are actively developed, building on established solvers, or using rewriting-based approaches. For practical applications, additional language features are actively explored in order to be able to apply epistemic extensions of logic programming langauges to practical problems. The goal of this workshop is to facilitate discussions regarding these topics and a productive exchange of ideas.
This workshop is part of the International Conference of Logic Programming (ICLP) 2020. In keeping with the main conference, the workshop will be held as a fully virtual event this year.
Autumn 2020, 4th international conference on Logic, Relativity, & Beyond (LRB 2020), Simontornya, Hungary
There are several new and rapidly evolving research areas blossoming out from the interaction of logic and relativity theory.

18 - 21 September 2020, 25th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2020), Virtual
The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) focus on the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge, at the crossroads of artificial intelligence, human cognition, computational linguistics, and related areas of computer science and cognitive science. The ICCS conferences evolved from a series of seven annual workshops on conceptual graphs, starting with an informal gathering hosted by John F. Sowa in 1986. Recently, graph-based knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) paradigms are getting more and more attention. With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to its human users. This year ICCS 2020 is a part of 'Bolzano Summer of Knowledge' which will take place in Bolzano, Italy during the month of September, 2020.
In view of the present circumstances around the COVID-19 epidemic, the ICSS conference will happen as an online event.

21 - 25 September 2020, 6th Workshop on Formal and Cognitive Reasoning (FCR 2020), Virtual
Information for real life AI applications is usually pervaded by uncertainty and subject to change, and thus demands for non-classical reasoning approaches. At the same time, psychological findings indicate that human reasoning cannot be completely described by classical logical systems. Sources of explanations are incomplete knowledge, incorrect beliefs, or inconsistencies. A wide range of reasoning mechanism has to be considered, such as analogical or defeasible reasoning, possibly in combination with machine learning methods. The field of knowledge representation and reasoning offers a rich palette of methods for uncertain reasoning both to describe human reasoning and to model AI approaches.
The aim of this series of workshops is to address recent challenges and to present novel approaches to uncertain reasoning and belief change in their broad senses, and in particular provide a forum for research work linking different paradigms of reasoning. We put a special focus on papers from both fields that provide a base for connecting formal-logical models of knowledge representation and cognitive models of reasoning and learning, addressing formal as well as experimental or heuristic issues. FCR 2020 will be a workshop at the 43rd German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI-2020).
21 September - 19 October 2020, 15th International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in CS (CMCS 2020), Virtual
In more than a decade of research, it has been established that a wide variety of state-based dynamical systems, like transition systems, automata (including weighted and probabilistic variants), Markov chains, and game-based systems, can be treated uniformly as coalgebras. Coalgebra has developed into a field of its own interest presenting a deep mathematical foundation, a growing field of applications, and interactions with various other fields. Established in 1998, the aim of the CMCS workshops is to bring together researchers with a common interest in the theory of coalgebras, their logics, and their applications. As the workshop serie strives to maintain breadth in its scope, participation by researchers in neighbouring areas is strongly encouraged.
CMCS 2020 will be held virtually, as a series of approximately three hour sessions spread across five weeks.

21 September - 19 October 2020, 15th International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in CS (CMCS 2020), Virtual
In more than a decade of research, it has been established that a wide variety of state-based dynamical systems, like transition systems, automata (including weighted and probabilistic variants), Markov chains, and game-based systems, can be treated uniformly as coalgebras. Coalgebra has developed into a field of its own interest presenting a deep mathematical foundation, a growing field of applications, and interactions with various other fields. Established in 1998, the aim of the CMCS workshops is to bring together researchers with a common interest in the theory of coalgebras, their logics, and their applications. As the workshop serie strives to maintain breadth in its scope, participation by researchers in neighbouring areas is strongly encouraged.
CMCS 2020 will be held virtually, as a series of approximately three hour sessions spread across five weeks.
31 August - 7 October 2020, The Joint Ontology Workshops Episode 6 (JOWO 2020), Virtual
The Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO) is a venue of workshops that, together, address a wide spectrum of topics related to ontology research, ranging from Cognitive Science to Knowledge Representation, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Philosophy, and Linguistics.
Workshops and tutorials at JOWO 2020 are events whose scientific program is independently established by the workshop organizers. Workshops can be events that provide a forum for the discussion of topics broadly related to ontologies, formal ontology, and knowledge management and their application in information science or other areas. JOWO is especially suitable for interdisciplinary and innovative formats.
At the JOWO 2020 "The Bolzano Summer of Knowledge" Edition, workshops and tutorials will be taking place virtually between August 31st and October 7th 2020, and will be affiliated with the conferences EKAW, FOIS, and ICBO.
21 - 25 September 2020, 6th Workshop on Formal and Cognitive Reasoning (FCR 2020), Virtual
Information for real life AI applications is usually pervaded by uncertainty and subject to change, and thus demands for non-classical reasoning approaches. At the same time, psychological findings indicate that human reasoning cannot be completely described by classical logical systems. Sources of explanations are incomplete knowledge, incorrect beliefs, or inconsistencies. A wide range of reasoning mechanism has to be considered, such as analogical or defeasible reasoning, possibly in combination with machine learning methods. The field of knowledge representation and reasoning offers a rich palette of methods for uncertain reasoning both to describe human reasoning and to model AI approaches.
The aim of this series of workshops is to address recent challenges and to present novel approaches to uncertain reasoning and belief change in their broad senses, and in particular provide a forum for research work linking different paradigms of reasoning. We put a special focus on papers from both fields that provide a base for connecting formal-logical models of knowledge representation and cognitive models of reasoning and learning, addressing formal as well as experimental or heuristic issues. FCR 2020 will be a workshop at the 43rd German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI-2020).

CfP topical collection of Synthese on "Concept Formation in the Natural & Social Sciences"
Concept formation has recently become a widely discussed topic in philosophy under the headings of “conceptual engineering”, “conceptual ethics”, and “ameliorative analysis”. While recent philosophical discussions on concept formation have addressed natural sciences such as physics as well as various life sciences, so far there is only little direct engagement with the social sciences. To address this shortcoming is important because many debates about socially relevant concepts such as power, gender, democracy, risk, justice, or rationality, may best be understood as engaging in conceptual engineering. This topical collection addresses the nature and structure of concept formation in the natural and the social sciences alike, both as a process taking place within science and as an activity that aims at a broader impact in society.
We aim at expanding the scope of the philosophical debate about concept formation more generally. We will consider projects that use either a systematic, a historical, or an empirical approach. We are particularly interested in experimental-philosophical work (e.g., questionnaire studies, corpus analysis) that discusses its use and/or its consequences for explicating or engineering socially-relevant concepts.
