Vienna, September 9-13, 2024
The second European Summer School on the Philosophy of Mathematics will
focus on different topics in the philosophy of mathematics, its foundations,
as well as on the philosophy of mathematical practice. We are happy to
invite abstract submissions by graduate students (MA and PhD). The School
will be hosted in person at the University of Vienna and will include three
tutorials by distinguished scholars as well as a training unit on
"Quantitative and qualitative empirical methods for philosophers of
mathematics" by Matthew Inglis and Deborah Kant (provided by the CIPSH Chair
DMRCP ("Diversity of Mathematical Research Cultures and Practices").
The school aims to bring together Master and PhD students interested in the
connection between philosophy and mathematics, giving them the opportunity
to discuss related topics with leading scholars in the field.
Topics will be selected reflecting participants interests and may include:
* Mathematical knowledge and mathematical understanding
* Justification and representation in mathematics
* Informal proofs and mathematical rigor
* The role of intuition and diagrams in mathematical reasoning
* Experimental mathematics and mathematical practice
* Mathematical ontology
