Focus and Scope

The Baltic International Yearbook of Cognition, Logic and Communication is edited by the Center for Cognitive Sciences and Semantics at the University of Latvia in Riga and published on the World Wide Web. It is managed and supervised by leading American and European philosophers who have been trained in analytic philosophy. It is aimed at but not limited to academic audiences. It will be of interest to students and researchers in the field of philosophy as well as in connected disciplines such a psychology, computer sciences and linguistics. It is available at no cost, without license or subscription.

Each issue of the Yearbook is overseen by a guest editor. The Yearbook publishes peer reviewed, original papers which either have been invited for presentation at or which have been selected amongst submissions for contribution to CCSS’s annual Symposium of Cognition, Logic and Communication. It also publishes responses, commentaries and critical notes relevant to previous volumes. Only papers that meet the editors’ high standards of scholarship are ultimately published in the Yearbook.

Each issue of the Baltic International Yearbook for Cognition, Logic and Communication is thematic. Among the themes it will seek to explore are issues in formal logic and epistemology, computer sciences, mathematics and AI-research, the relationship between philosophy (in general) and psychology, linguistics, the philosophy of cognitive and information processing systems as well as the history and development of these disciplines.
