7th International Meeting of the Association for the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice (APMP)
School for Advanced Studies IUSS Pavia, Italy
18-21 June 2024
The APMP aims to foster the philosophy of mathematical practice, that is, a broad outward-looking cluster of approaches to understanding mathematics. Relevant themes include issues in the epistemology of mathematics, history of mathematics, applications of mathematics, mathematical education, and cognitive science.
Keynote speakers
Karine Chemla (Sphere – CNRS, Paris, France)
Kenny Easwaran (University of California, Irvine, USA)
Eduardo Giovannini (CONICET, Argentina)
Juliette Kennedy (University of Helsinki, Finland)
Fenner Tanswell (Technical University of Berlin, Germany)
Call for papers:
A title and abstract (max. 600 words) should be submitted here for anonymous review by December 15, 2023. The meeting will be mainly in person, but presenters who can only participate online will be able to indicate it at the time of the submission. Notification of acceptance will be sent out by mid-March 2024.

The aim of this conference is to bring together philosophers of mathematics belonging to different traditions and to foster novel interactions. In recent years, the philosophy of mathematical practice has gained momentum by producing significant results. Still, it remains somewhat estranged from other trends in the philosophy of mathematics. At this conference, we would like to create the possibility for a change in this situation. Here are some of the questions we will raise. Can results in the philosophy of mathematical practice be relevant to traditional metaphysical questions in the philosophy of mathematics? Can technical results in logic or in the philosophy of logic be applied to epistemological questions suggested by the practice of mainstream mathematics?
