The Diagrams conference provides a united forum for all researchers with an interest in the study of diagrams. The conference fosters multi-disciplinarity and allows researchers from areas such as computer science, mathematics, psychology, philosophy, history (of science, art, etc.), education research, and more to meet and share their perspectives on the theory and application of diagrams.
For 2024, we will have a special track devoted to philosophical issues pertaining to diagrams. Special theme topics include any research on the philosophy of diagrams, such as:
– aesthetic properties of diagrams,
– cultural, metaphysical, epistemological aspects of diagrams,
– diagrams for syllogisms,
– diagrams in formal logic,
– diagrams in mathematical practice,
– diagrams in the mind,
– historical aspects of diagrams,
– iconicity and ‘naturalness’ of diagrams,
– imagination,
– philosophy of notation,
– reasoning and argumentation with diagrams,
– semantics and/or pragmatics of diagrams,
– semiotics of diagrams,
– square of opposition, trees and graphs,
– the nature and definition of diagrams and diagramming,
– the work of philosophers such as Plato and C. S. Peirce
– visualization and intuition.
In addition to the Philosophy track, Diagrams 2024 will have two further tracks: Main, and Psychology & Education. If the main research contribution of your submission is considered to fit either of the other tracks then you are strongly encouraged to submit to the respective special track, each of which has a dedicated program committee.
