The Philosophy of Computer Science First published Tue Aug 20, 2013 For nearly every field of study, there is a branch of philosophy, called the philosophy of that field. …Since the main purpose of a given field of study is to contribute to knowledge, the philosophy of X is, at least in part, a branch of epistemology. Its purpose is to provide an account of the goals, methodology, and subject matter of X. (Shapiro 1983: 525) The philosophy of computer science is concerned with those philosophical issues that arise from within the academic discipline of computer science.

Michael Wolff’s ‘Fire and Fury’: Inside Trump’s White House On the afternoon of November 8, 2016, Kellyanne Conway settled into her glass office at Trump Tower. Right up until the last weeks of the race, the campaign headquarters had remained a listless place. All that seemed to distinguish it from a corporate back office were a few posters with right-wing slogans.

Habits: bridging the gap between personhood and personal identity Introduction What is a person? More precisely, which conditions are necessary for an entity to be a person at a discrete point in time; or, which features define an entity synchronically as a person? How fossilised ideas live on even in science – Andrew Crumey Would you say that astrology is very scientific, sort of scientific, or not at all scientific?

The rest, almost 50 per cent, were willing to grant it credibility, a higher proportion than in previous surveys. Perhaps that indicates a decline in rational scepticism, but an alternative interpretation suggests itself: many respondents had simply confused astrology and astronomy.
