The philosophy of language with regard to computer techniques

on June 15, 2016 at 2:00 pm

Speaker : Dale MILLER et Gérard CHAZAL

We are pleased to announce the seminar: “Reflections on Computational, Information and Programming Processes”. This seminar was born from a joint project between different research teams. Its object is the historical-philosophical study of computer science and its practices.

The seminar is centered around two research axes, each of which gives rise to a series of specific sessions. The first axis, entitled “Interactions between logic, calculus and linguistics: history and philosophy”, analyses computer science as a place of connection between different disciplines, particularly logic, mathematics and linguistics. The second axis, entitled “Computer Science Practice: History and Philosophy”, studies computer science as a discipline in its own right, trying in particular to identify its own field of study through the analysis of its practices.
