The following workshop will take place in the context of the the ERC project Philosophy of Canonical Quantum Gravity:
New Spaces for Mathematics and Physics: Formal and Philosophical Reflections
28 September – 2 October 2015,
Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris (France)
http://ercpqg-espace.sciencesconf.org/?lang=en
Speakers :
Mathieu Anel
Pierre Cartier
Denis-Charles Cisinski
Cecilia Flori
Patrick Iglesias-Zemmour
André Joyal
Mikhail Kapranov
Anders Kock
Maxim Kontsevich
Shahn Majid
Marco Mariño
Timothy Porter
Jean Pradines
Hanno Sahlmann
Urs Schreiber
Carlos Simpson
Michel Vaquié
Since the development of differential and algebraic varieties, the notion of space has traversed very radical transformations, both in pure mathematics and in mathematical physics. The objective of this project is to propose a formal, conceptual and historical vision of these evolutions by addressing recent notions of space in mathematics and/or physics (such as diffeologies, schemes, topoi, stacks, spin networks, homotopy types, noncommutative spaces, supermanifolds, etc.).
This conference is part of the wider project of editing a collective book on these subjects. The workshop is conceived as an opportunity to collectively discuss and enrich the different contributions to the book.
Participation is free, you can register by writing to ercpqg-espace@sciencesconf.org<mailto:ercpqg-espace@sciencesconf.org>.

Third International Meeting of the Association for the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice
Location: Institute Henri Poincaré in Paris, France
Dates: November 2-4, 2015
APMP website: http://institucional.us.es/apmp/
Invited speakers:
- Abel Lassalle Casanave (Brasil),
- Leo Corry (Israel),
- Silvia De Toffoli (USA),
- Jeremy Gray (UK),
- Danielle Macbeth (USA)
- Paolo Mancosu (USA).
Call for papers: We welcome paper proposals within the area of the philosophy of mathematical practice. A title and abstract (250- 500 words) should be sent to Jessica Carter, jessica@imada.sdu.dk before April 30, 2015. Notification will be sent out by June 15. Post-doctoral fellows and doctoral students are highly invited to send proposals.
The APMP aims to foster the philosophy of mathematical practice, that is, a broad outward-looking approach to understanding mathematics that engages with mathematics in practice –including issues in history of mathematics, the applications of mathematics, cognitive science, etc.

The primary goal of this workshop is to shed light on mathematical thought and understanding by developing a rich collection of case studies drawn from the historical and current practice of mathematicians. A secondary goal is to examine the methodology of case studies with an eye towards determining which questions in the philosophy of mathematics are amenable to solution by case study methods, and which questions are not. One recurring theme of the workshop concerns the ways in which the development of new conceptual and representational resources can contribute to an increase in the intelligibility of a mathematical domain.
Workshop Leader: Kenneth Manders, University of Pittsburgh
Location: Université Paris Diderot, Paris, France
Dates: June 29, 2015 – July 4, 2015
Confirmed Participants:
- Andrew Arana, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Karine Chemla, Université Paris Diderot
- Jessica Carter, University of Southern Denmark
- Jeremy Heis, University of California, Irvine
- Douglas Marshall, Carleton College
- Marco Panza, Université Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne

The Philosophy of Mathematics Association is pleased to announce a PMA/PSA Special Session at this year’s PSA meeting in Chicago, November 6-9th.
Since much of philosophy of science depends on, or at least is informed by, philosophy of mathematics, it is crucial that connections between these research areas be both highlighted and valued. Well-witnessing the varying perspectives and differing investigations of philosophers of mathematics, the topics of this session will include: the history and philosophy of scientific structuralism, mereologically interpreted geometry, and the formal nature of reasoning.
The title of the session is: Perspectives in the Philosophy of Mathematics
Speakers and titles are:
- Audrey Yap: Noether’s Mathematical Structuralism;
- Geoffrey Hellman: Mereological Geometry;
- W.W. Tait: Towards the Unity of Mathematics: Classical and Constructive Reasoning.
