PhiMSAMP-6 (Philosophy of Mathematics: Sociological Aspects and Mathematical Practice), Amsterdam & Utrecht (The Netherlands)

22-23 April 2010

The Vereniging voor Logica (VvL) invites cordially to the

     PhiMSAMP Book Launch (PhiMSAMP-6)
     http://www.lib.uni-bonn.de/PhiMSAMP/6/

held on 22 and 23 April 2010 in Amsterdam and Utrecht. PhiMSAMP
("Philosophy of Mathematics: Sociological Aspects and Mathematical
Practice") is an international research network funded by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft and coordinated from Amsterdam and Utrecht aiming
to combine tools from sociology, psychology, educational studies, history
and other subjects to provide a philosophy of mathematics that has a
closer affinity to actual mathematical research practice than the
traditional foundationalist philosophies. The network worked on this from
2006 to 2010 during a number of workshops and conferences; the result of
this work is a volume published in the series "Texts in Philosophy". This
volume will be presented to the public at the event. The event also
includes the annual member meeting of the VvL during the lunch break (the
VvL members will receive a separate invitation for this).

Speakers at the event include

    Andrea BLUNCK (Hamburg, Germany)
    Michele FRIEND (Washington DC, U.S.A.)
    Herbert KALTHOFF (Mainz, Germany)
    Brendan LARVOR (Hatfield, U.K.)
