International Workshop
LOGICISM TODAY
Besse-en-Chandesse (France), June 14-17, 2011


What ? Where? Who ?
This is a workshop on contemporary Logicism. The workshop is hosted by
Philosophies et Rationalités (PHIER) from the Université Blaise Pascal
(Clermont-Ferrand) and the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), with
the support of the Institut de Recherche Philosophique (IREPH) from the
Université Paris Ouest Nanterre. Workshop organizers are Sébastien Gandon
(PHIER) and Brice Halimi (IREPH).

Call for papers
The aim of this workshop is to gather philosophers working from within a
logicist perspective (or from within a perspective close to logicism) so
as to question the coherence and unity of the movement – that is, both to
make apparent the conceptual tensions that divide logicism, and to outline
possible rapprochements between different logicist approaches of
mathematics. For more, please note the conference website, where in
particular a detailed description of the agenda of the workshop can be
found:
http://www.univ-bpclermont.fr/LABOS/phier/Logicism
The three-day meeting will feature both invited and contributed talks. We
welcome any contribution in the area of logicism and philosophy of
mathematics, and in particular any submission that would endeavor either
to contribute to the logicist program or to discuss some aspect of it.
Deadline for submission: March 1st, 2011
(Notification of acceptance by April 1st, 2011.)
