 AMCIS 2013 Mini-track: Foundations of Information Systems Subfields
("Philosophy of ….")

*Submission Deadline: Feb 22, 2013 @ 11:59pm CST*
Mini-track Description

Disciplines do not endure for any length of time without reflecting on
their underlying tenets and methods and their philosophical bent and
commitments.  Dennett writes:  “There is no way to avoid having
philosophical preconceptions; the only option is whether to examine them
explicitly and carefully at some point in one’s endeavors.” The  "Philosophy
of …" mini-track provides the mechanism for disciplinary introspection and
assessment thus allowing a field to come to a better understanding of
itself and its purpose.


This mini-track provides a forum for every subfield in IS to analyze and
reexamine the foundations of their subfield in light of exciting
developments overtaking the IS field. All our research is based on some
philosophical foundations whether we acknowledge them or not. This
mini-track provides IS subfields cause to pause and reflect whether or not
they have successfully contributed to the progress and stewardship of their
domain such that the IS field can truly meet the needs of society. We
invite papers that discuss philosophical aspects of the IS field from all
IS domains, and from all angles and levels of inquiry. Such an approach
became the motivation behind the founding of many disciplines from modern
linguistics, modern anthropology to political science, sociology and
quantum physics.
