******************************
Call for Participation:

                           One Hundred Years of Russell's Paradox

International Conference
University of Munich, Germany
Sat June 2 -  Tue June 5, 2001

This centennial conference commemorates the discovery of Russell's
paradox, which revolutionized philosophical inquiry and foundational
thinking about mathematics, and led to the development of the new and
thriving field of mathematical logic.

The conference brings together leading scholars from the following
fields:

     Russell Studies
     Mathematical Logic
     Set Theory
     Philosophy of Mathematics

The aim of the conference is to contribute to the understanding of
Russell's discovery in its historical context, and to attempt an
assessment of the meaning of set theory in the light of both current
conceptions and recent technical findings in the above-mentioned fields.

The conference will feature

     plenary sessions with distinguished invited speakers
     section meetings devoted to the above fields,
     with both invited and contributed papers
     panel discussions
     symposia
