Computational philosophy

Computational philosophy is the use of computational techniques in philosophy. It includes concepts such as computational models, algorithms, simulations, games, etc. that help in the research and teaching of philosophical concepts. The use of computers in philosophy has gained momentum as computer power as well as the availability of data have improved exponentially. This, along with the development of many new techniques that use those computers and data, has opened many new ways of doing philosophy that were not available before. It has also led to new insights in philosophy.

Not to be confused with Philosophy of computer science.
