Paris-Nancy PhilMath Workshop (P-NPMW), October 21-22, 2009, Nancy Next October (21--22) a workshop in the philosophy of mathematics will be held at the University of Nancy 2. The provisional name of the workshop is the Paris-Nancy PhilMath Workshop (P-NPMW).

The two day meeting will feature both invited and contributed talks. The invited speakers, who have confirmed their participation, are: 1.

Shahid Rahman, Dept. de Philosophie, Universite Lille 3 5. Stewart Shapiro, Dept. of Philosophy, The Ohio State University & University of St Andrews 6.

Presentations should be no longer than 45 minutes, with a 30 Min period of discussion to follow each. We wish to make it clear that younger scholars, including those working on their PhDs, are particularly encouraged to submit papers. The workshop is intended to provide an unusually rich opportunity for younger scholars to discuss their work with experts from around the world. The deadline for submission is July 31st. Receipt of submissions will be acknowledged by e-mail. A committee will read and evaluate all papers (full text) submitted by that date and will return a notice of decision by September 15th. The papers should be sent by email in DOC, RTF, or PDF format to the following address: p-npmw@univ-nancy2.fr Whether or not your paper is selected for inclusion on the program, we hope you will join us for what looks to be an excellent workshop.
