Mission Statement

The Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) serves Stanford faculty and students who are engaged in research involving computational, logical, and stochastic modeling of cognitive functions and processes. CSLI was founded in 1983 by researchers from Stanford University, SRI International, and (the former Xerox) PARC. At present, the eleven core and twenty-four affiliated Stanford faculty members and their students are concentrated in the departments of Psychology, Linguistics, Philosophy, Computer Science, and Communications, the School of Education, and the interdepartmental Symbolic Systems Program. The Center’s objective is to facilitate collaborations among these researchers and thereby amplify Stanford’s already considerable strengths in cognitive sciences.

Project

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

From its inception, the SEP was designed so that each entry is maintained and kept up to date by an expert or group of experts in the field. All entries and substantive updates are refereed by the members of a distinguished Editorial Board before they are made public. Consequently, our dynamic reference work maintains academic standards while evolving and adapting in response to new research.
