*AMCIS 2014 Mini-track: Foundations of Information Systems Subfields
("Philosophy of ….")*

Submission Deadline: March 1, 2014 @ 11:59pm EST

*Mini-track Description*

Disciplines do not endure for any length of time without reflecting on
their underlying tenets and methods, their philosophical bent and
commitments, and ethical foundations. 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 popular mini-track provides a forum for every subfield in IS to
analyze and reexamine its philosophical and ethical 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.
