*Studies in Applied Philosophy, Epistemology and Rational Ethics 
(SAPERE)* publishes new developments and advances in all the fields of 
philosophy, epistemology, and ethics, bringing them together with a 
cluster of scientific disciplines and technological outcomes: ranging 
from computer science to life sciences, from economics, law, and 
education to engineering, logic, and mathematics, from medicine to 
physics, human sciences, and politics. The series aims at covering all 
the challenging philosophical and ethical themes of contemporary 
society, making them appropriately applicable to contemporary 
theoretical and practical problems, impasses, controversies, and 
conflicts. Our scientific and technological era has offered “new” topics 
to all areas of philosophy and ethics – for instance concerning 
scientific rationality, creativity, human and artificial intelligence, 
social and folk epistemology, ordinary reasoning, cognitive niches and 
cultural evolution, ecological crisis, ecologically situated 
rationality, consciousness, freedom and responsibility, human identity 
and uniqueness, cooperation, altruism, intersubjectivity and empathy, 
spirituality, violence. The impact of such topics has been mainly 
undermined by contemporary cultural settings, whereas they should 
increase the demand of interdisciplinary applied knowledge and fresh and 
original understanding. In turn, traditional philosophical and ethical 
themes have been profoundly affected and transformed as well: they 
should be further examined as embedded and applied within their 
scientific and technological environments so to update their received 
and often old-fashioned disciplinary treatment and appeal. Applying 
philosophy individuates therefore a new research commitment for the 21st 
century, focused on the main problems of recent methodological, logical, 
epistemological, and cognitive aspects of modeling activities employed 
both in intellectual and scientific discovery, and in technological 
innovation, including the computational tools intertwined with such 
practices, to understand them in a wide and integrated perspective. 
*Studies in Applied Philosophy, Epistemology and Rational Ethics* means 
to demonstrate the contemporary practical relevance of this novel 
philosophical approach and thus to provide a home for monographs, 
lecture notes, selected contributions from specialized conferences and 
workshops as well as selected Ph.D. theses. The series welcomes 
contributions from philosophers as well as from scientists, engineers, 
and intellectuals interested in showing how applying philosophy can 
increase knowledge about our current world.
