computation, both at theoretical and technological level. The field of the Philosophy of Computing and Information collects and identifies a broad set of problems related to these areas, including: computability and complexity theory, information theory, computer ethics and communication. digital arts, philosophy of AI and philosophy of mind, artificial life and simulations, knowledge and language, logic, probability and game theory. </td> </tr> </table> <table class="responsive nospace" style="margin-bottom:10px;width:80%"> <tr> <td style="font-size:12px;width:90px" valign="top"><em>Key works</em></td> <td>Given the broad spectrum of topics this philosophical field includes, for each of the areas mentioned above, seminal work can be identified. Computation: a classical introduction is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230525143332/https://philpapers.org/rec/BOOCAL">Boolos et al 1989</a>. An introduction to complexity is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230525143332/https://philpapers.org/rec/NORITC">Northrop 2010</a>. Information theory usually is traced back to works of Shannon, Weaver and the Cybernetics. Computer Ethics is a fairly recent field, for introductory work see <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230525143332/https://philpapers.org/rec/JAMWIC">Moor 1985</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230525143332/https://philpapers.org/rec/FLOCI">Floridi 2007</a>. For an introduction to computer art see <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230525143332/https://philpapers.org/rec/BINCA">Binkley 1998</a>. The theory of mind has a very extensive literature, with a large part devoted to computational approaches, from the seminal <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230525143332/https://philpapers.org/rec/TURCMA">Turing 1950</a>, see <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230525143332/https://philpapers.org/rec/HORTCT">Horst 2005</a> for an overview and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230525143332/https://philpapers.org/rec/PICCMV">Piccinini 2007</a> for a critical approach.
