Abstract
Computational philosophy (CP) is a philosophical subdiscipline,
which uses computers as a subject matter, intuition pump, and
research tool. Correspondingly, CP may be viewed as being comprised
of three primary divisions philosophy of computation/information,
computational philosophy (proper) and philosophical modeling.
Philosophy of computation/information is concerned with the intelligibility,
and significance of the central concepts of computer science.
Computational philosophy proper applies the formal and conceptual
apparatus of computer science to traditional philosophical problems.
Philosophical modeling is the systematic formalization and modeling
of philosophical theories for practical and evaluative purposes.
Computational philosophy presents a unique set of concepts, methods
and problems that constitutes a rich philosophical subdiscipline.
