Barwise Prize
The Barwise Prize ( English Barwise Prize ) for important and sustainable contributions in the field of philosophy and computing was launched in 2002 by the American Philosophical Association (APA) - in cooperation with the Committee on Philosophy and Computers of the APA and on the proposal of the International Association for Computing and Philosophy .
The award is given annually by the APA committee. It serves to honor philosophers for their life's work in this area, but also to honor activities in all fields that are relevant to the predictable and informational branch of philosophy. For example, candidates are active in one of the following areas: use of computers in philosophical teaching, artificial intelligence and its philosophical aspect, or computer ethics .
The committee chose Jon Barwise to name the award because his life's work is considered a particularly good example of research and teaching in this area.
