Our scientific and technological era has offered “new” topics to all areas of
philosophy and ethics – for instance concerning scientific rationality,
creativity, human and artificial intelligence, social and folk epistemology,
ordinary reasoning, cognitive niches and cultural evolution, ecological crisis,
ecologically situated rationality, consciousness, freedom and responsibility,
human identity and uniqueness, cooperation, altruism, intersubjectivity and
empathy, spirituality, violence. The impact of such topics has been mainly
undermined by contemporary cultural settings, whereas they should increase the
demand of interdisciplinary applied knowledge and fresh and original
understanding. In turn, traditional philosophical and ethical themes have been
profoundly affected and transformed as well: they should be further examined as
embedded and applied within their scientific and technological environments so
to update their received and often old-fashioned disciplinary treatment and
appeal. Applying philosophy individuates therefore a new research commitment
for the 21st century, focused on the main problems of recent methodological,
logical, epistemological, and cognitive aspects of modeling activities employed
both in intellectual and scientific discovery, and in technological innovation,
including the computational tools intertwined with such practices, to
understand them in a wide and integrated perspective.
Studies in Applied Philosophy, Epistemology and Rational Ethics means
to demonstrate the contemporary practical relevance of this novel philosophical
approach and thus to provide a home for monographs, lecture notes, selected
contributions from specialized conferences and workshops as well as selected
Ph.D. theses. The series welcomes contributions from philosophers as well as
from scientists, engineers, and intellectuals interested in showing how
applying philosophy can increase knowledge about our current world.
