International Workshop LOGICISM TODAY Besse-en-Chandesse (France), June 14-17, 2011 What ? Where? Who ? This is a workshop on contemporary Logicism. The workshop is hosted by Philosophies et Rationalits (PHIER) from the Universit Blaise Pascal (Clermont-Ferrand) and the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), with the support of the Institut de Recherche Philosophique (IREPH) from the Universit Paris Ouest Nanterre. Workshop organizers are Sbastien Gandon (PHIER) and Brice Halimi (IREPH). Call for papers The aim of this workshop is to gather philosophers working from within a logicist perspective (or from within a perspective close to logicism) so as to question the coherence and unity of the movement ? that is, both to make apparent the conceptual tensions that divide logicism, and to outline possible rapprochements between different logicist approaches of mathematics. For more, please note the conference website, where in particular a detailed description of the agenda of the workshop can be found: http://www.univ-bpclermont.fr/LABOS/phier/Logicism The three-day meeting will feature both invited and contributed talks.
