The Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (CLPS) of the Vrije
Universiteit Brussel (VUB) will host its Third Masterclass in the
Philosophy of Mathematical Practice on June, 19-21 with Prof. Dr. Marcus
Giaquinto. The Masterclass will be composed of three lectures, the
tentative titles of which are as follows:
*Lecture 1 (Wednesday, 19/6)*: *A priori* and *a posteriori* in mathematics.
*Lecture 2 (Thursday, 20/6)*: Is the distinction between proofs and
non-proofs in mathematics objective?
*Lecture 3 (Friday, 21/6):* Can mathematical arguments have aesthetic value?
We intend the Masterclass to be a fully interactive event, with the twofold
objective to understand in depth the materials presented in the lectures,
and to provide early career researchers (PhD students and Postdocs) with an
opportunity to discuss their ongoing work in a helpful and constructive
environment. The lectures by Marcus Giaquinto will take place in the
mornings, and will be followed by afternoon sessions with presentations by
early career researchers in the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice.
*Call for Abstracts*
We invite early career researchers who would be interested to present their
work to send us an abstract of at most 1 page by April, 1st. Please submit
your abstract, including your affiliation information, by sending it to the
following email address: masterclass.pmp.bxl@gmail.com. The talks will be
of a duration of around 20 minutes (not including discussion). Notification
of acceptance will be sent out by the middle of April. Notice that
submitting an abstract is not mandatory for attending the Masterclass.
*Attendance Fees and Registration*
We ask people to register to the Masterclass by May, 1st, but there will be
no attendance fees for the event, and attendance of the Masterclass is open
to everyone interested. If you are planning to attend the Masterclass,

*Location*
The Masterclass will take place at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) on
the Etterbeek campus, which is situated in Brussels, Belgium.
*Organizers*
The Masterclass is organized by Sven Delarivière, Joachim Frans, Yacin
Hamami, and Colin Rittberg.
*Contact Information*
For any questions, please contact the organizers by sending an email to:

*Acknowledgements and Supports*
The Masterclass is supported by the Strategic Research Program entitled
?Logic and Philosophy of Mathematical Practices? of the Vrije Universiteit
Brussel (VUB), the Doctoral School of Human Sciences (DSh) of the VUB, and
the Association for the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice (APMP).
