This volume offers very selected papers from the 2014 conference of the International Association for Computing and Philosophy (IACAP) - a conference tradition of 28 years. The theme of the papers is the two-way relation between computing technologies
and philosophical questions: Computing technologies both raise new philosophical
questions, and shed light on traditional philosophical problems. The chapters cover: 1) philosophy of computing, 2) philosophy of computer science & discovery, 3) philosophy of cognition & intelligence, 4) computing & society, and 5) ethics of computation.
