Greetings all,
Reminder. This Monday 1.00-2.30 in the philosophy common room we have
Gianluigi Oliveri to talk to us about:
For a philosophy of mathematical practice
It is a fact that of the logicist, the intuitionist, and Hilbert's
programmes, the classical programmes set up to establish
mathematics on safe foundations, some have failed, whereas others
have long since lost their propulsive force.
Two of the consequences of the crisis of the classical programmes
in the foundations of mathematics were: a widespread scepticism
towards the possibility of establishing the certainty of
mathematical methods, and a new attention paid to mathematical
practice.
The main aim of this article is that of individuating some
directions of research along which to develop a tenable philosophy
of mathematical practice.
