    Meeting Description:

    LOGIC, GAMES AND PHILOSOPHY: FOUNDATIONAL PERSPECTIVES

    Prague International Colloquium

    28 September - 1 October 2004, Prague, Czech Republic

    Games, like logics, are tools for investigating the world, language, and their relationship. Semantic, dialogic, evolutionary, interrogative, argumentative, and pragmatic methods have been included into the toolkit. Following the recent increase in investment on games and game-theoretic methods in logic, language, computation and communication, we still need a better understanding of the possibilities of forming converging methodologies underlying these diverse contemporary currents. The purpose of the Prague Conference on Logic, Games and Philosophy: Foundational Perspectives is to explore the interfaces between logic and games with the eye on philosophical, methodological and foundational issues.
