Olivia Caramello (University of Insubria) Call for abstracts ? The FilMat network promotes the philosophy of mathematics within and outside Italy, fostering cooperation among scholars worldwide and supporting young researchers. After its inaugural conference (Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa 2012), two official conferences (San Raffaele, Milan, 2014; Chieti-Pescara, 2016) and a graduate conference (Trento, 2017), the network is now advertising its third international conference, to be held in Mussomeli (Caltanissetta, Sicily) in 2018. We expect to host up to 16 contributed talks by speakers of any nationality (selected by double-blind refereeing). Submissions of original contributions are invited in any area of the philosophy of mathematics, especially if connected with the following topics: - structures vs. objects in mathematics - the metaphysics and epistemology of structures - historical aspects of mathematical structuralism - varieties of structuralist approaches to the foundations of mathematics: set theory, category theory, and homotopy type theory - categoricity and structure - logics and structures - logical pluralism and the foundations of mathematics - proofs and explanations in mathematics - determinacy and vagueness in mathematics. Submissions by young scholars are especially welcome. Abstracts must be written in English, and have a *maximum length of 1500 words (references included)*, and should be prepared for blind-review, with all identifying details (name, affiliation, email and abstract title) in a separate file.
