This edited volume explores the intersection between philosophy and computing. It features work
presented at the 2016 annual meeting of the International Association for Computing and
Philosophy. The 23 contributions to this volume neatly represent a cross section of 40 papers
four keynote addresses and eight symposia as they cut across six distinct research agendas.
The volume begins with foundational studies in computation and information epistemology and
philosophy of science and logic. The contributions next examine research into computational
aspects of cognition and philosophy of mind. This leads to a look at moral dimensions of
man-machine interaction as well as issues of trust privacy and justice. This
multi-disciplinary or better yet a-disciplinary investigation reveals the fruitfulness of
erasing distinctions among and boundaries between established academic disciplines. This should
come as no surprise. The computational turn itself is a-disciplinary and no former discipline
whether scientific artistic or humanistic has remained unchanged. Rigorous reflection on the
nature of these changes opens the door to inquiry into the nature of the world what
constitutes our knowledge of it and our understanding of our place in it. These investigations
are only just beginning. The contributions to this volume make this clear: many encourage
further research and end with open questions.
