This book features a unique selection of work presented at the 2019 annual international conference of the International Association for Computing and Philosophy (IACAP). It contains peer-reviewed contributions from said conference, all revised and extended for this publication, grouped together by section: distributed computation and epistemic logic, philosophy of science and computation, computation and cognition, and ethical themes of artificial intelligence and robotics. The volume reveals the necessity and value of interdisciplinary approaches to the computational and informational turn. We are living in a time of tremendous development which requires rigorous reflection on the philosophical nature of these technologies and how they are changing the world. How can we understand these technologies? How do these technologies change our understanding of the world? And how do these technologies affect our place as humans in the world? These questions, and more, are addressed in this volume which is of interest to philosophers, engineers and computer scientists alike.
