L&PS - Logic and Philosophy of Science is an on-line philosophical journal
sponsored by the Department of Philosophy of the University of Trieste
(Italy). The journal promotes both theoretical and historical research in
the philosophy of science and logic, without excluding any particular
cultural perspective.

Topics welcomed by the journal include:

* the theory of scientific knowledge and the analysis of the general
methodological problems of science (such as scientific discovery, causation,
scientific inference, induction and probability, the structure of scientific
theories and their relations with empirical data);
* the methodological and foundational problems of the different sciences,
from the natural, to the biomedical, to the social sciences;
* the problems related to the historical development of logic, in all its
branches, and to the role of logical methods both in the general methodology
of science and in the foundations of empirical and mathematical sciences;
* the philosophical problems raised by the development of the cognitive
sciences and the philosophy of mind, with particular attention to those
results that are relevant for the analysis of scientific practice;
* the epistemological problems related to Artificial Intelligence, robotics,
virtual reality, and artificial life;
* the problems in the sociology and the history of science that are relevant
to the philosophical investigation of science;
* the problems related to the ethics of science;
* the questions related to the historical and conceptual development of the
philosophy of science and logic;
* the problems of the philosophy of language, with particular attention to
those results that are relevant for logic and philosophy of science.

The journal will appear twice a year (in March and in September), and one of
these issues will be usually devoted to a special topic.

Papers submitted to the journal must be written either in Italian or in
English, and must be accompanied by a short summary in English (and also in
Italian for the articles written in Italian).
