Mathematics as a Human Endeavour

speaker: Gabriele Lolli (Scuola Normale Superiore)

abstract: We will make a survey of recent new positions in the philosophy of mathematics which have the common ground of considering mathematics as a human activity - in particular so called quasi-empiricism. We will then discuss how logic can be added to the tool kit of these positions, from where it is usually banned, without introducing transcendental committments.
