26-27 Oct 2017
London, England
Let me call your attention to a workshop, taking place on the 26th-27th of October at LSE, that will bring together philosophers and physicists inspired by the work of Mikls Rdei. (Apologies for cross- and repeat posting.) Mikls Rdei is Professor of Philosophy and Head of Department at LSE's Department of Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method, who has been a constant leading influence on the philosophy and the foundations of physics, especially in the application of mathematical techniques to clarify the philosophical foundations of quantum theory. Mikls has also been one of the founders and leaders of the philosophy of science research group that Jeremy Butterfield labeled as "the Budapest School". The workshop, arranged on the occasion of his 65th birthday, will bring together philosophers and physicists inspired by the work of Mikls to celebrate his influence and achievements in philosophy of science as well as to discuss new work, in particular in the foundations of quantum physics. Friday talks take place at LSE in room 2.06 of the Lakatos Building (LAK), and the Thursday reception takes place Old Building (OLD) in the 5th floor Senior Common Room. Speakers include: Klaus Fredenhagen, Mrton Gmri, Balzs Gyenis, Zaln Gyenis, Gbor Hofer-Szab, Kasia Rejzner, Bryan W. Roberts, Lszl Szab, Giovanni Valente, and Charlotte Werndl.
