PHILOSOPHIES OF MATHEMATICS IN DIALOGUE
PRINCETON UNIVERSITY

AARON BURR HALL, 219

20 MAY 2023 // 9AM – 6PM
21 MAY 2023 // 9AM – 1PM

The aim of this conference is to bring together philosophers of mathematics belonging to different traditions and to foster novel interactions. In recent years, the philosophy of mathematical practice has gained momentum by producing significant results. Still, it remains somewhat estranged from other trends in the philosophy of mathematics. At this conference, we would like to create the
possibility for a change in this situation. Here are some of the questions we will raise. Can results in the philosophy of mathematical practice be relevant to traditional metaphysical questions in the philosophy of mathematics? Can technical results in logic or in the philosophy of logic be applied to epistemological questions suggested by the practice of mainstream mathematics?
