We are pleased to announce that on Friday, March 21 at 5.30pm (CET), Francesca Boccuni (Vita-Salute San Raffaele) will give the talk Forever Young: A Hundred Years of (Frege’s) Abstractionism as part of the Lugano Philosophy Colloquia Spring 2025 organised by the Institute of Philosophy (ISFI) at USI.
This hybrid talk will take place in Room Multiuso, FTL Building (USI West Campus) and online via Zoom. If you are interested in joining online, please write to events.isfi(a)usi.ch.
Here is the abstract of the talk:
Famously, Frege’s logicist programme for the foundations of mathematics, based on higher-order logic and abstraction principles, was doomed to failure due to inconsistency. Nonetheless, the legacy of his inquiry was not lost: A hundred years after Frege’s passing, the debate around his philosophy of mathematics is still vigorous, and investigation into the roots of the inconsistency of his programme has prompted alternative ways to use Fregean abstractions for foundational purposes. In this talk, we will explore Frege’s Logicism, its inconsistency, and several possible solutions proposed in the most recent logico-philosophical debate.

We are pleased to announce that on Friday, March 14 at 5.30pm (CET), Giuliano Torrengo (Milan) will give the talk One experience after another as part of the Lugano Philosophy Colloquia Spring 2025 organised by the Institute of Philosophy (ISFI) at USI.
This hybrid talk will take place in Room Multiuso, FTL Building (USI West Campus) and online via Zoom. If you are interested in joining online, please write to events.isfi(a)usi.ch.
Here is the abstract of the talk:
In this talk, I scrutinize the phenomenology of having one experience after another and distinguishing it from other temporal experiences such as change, duration, and the passage of time. I then argue that even though the flow of experience is often described as smooth, we do not experience the temporal dimension as a continuous series of locations. This gives us reasons to believe that experience is not just discontinuous, but also constituted by disunified flows.

Also einfach unter diesem Betreff zurückmelden (z.b. „Hier funktioniert der Listenzugriff“)
Mit bestem Gruß!
