I don’t often plug workshops or conferences but here is one that appeals to my interest in social epistemology and computational intelligence.
**************************
Workshop on Computer Simulations in Social Epistemology, Leuven, October 30-31
Centre for Logic and Analytical Philosophy
The Workshop will be held in Seminar Room 2.41, Van Der Heuvelinstituut, 2nd floor (just to your left as you come up the main stairs). The Van Der Heuvelinstituut is located on the corner of Dekenstraat and Andreas Vesaliusstraat, southeast of the city centre.
