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.
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, please register by sending an email to: masterclass.pmp.bxl@gmail.com.
The Masterclass will take place at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) on the Etterbeek campus, which is situated in Brussels, Belgium.
The Masterclass is organized by Sven Delarivière, Joachim Frans, Yacin Hamami, Colin Rittberg.
