It brings together methods and research ques tions from different research areas in the history and philosophy of mathematics to investigate if a nd how the extensive use of the forcing method bro ught about a conceptual change in set theory; and in which ways this may influence the philosophy of set theory and the foundations of mathematics. T he research group organises a series of Networking Conferences with the goal of reaching out to rese archers from these different areas. The second ins talment will be devoted to the topic of recent set theory as a bridge between mathematics and philos ophy and focuses on the interaction between mathem atical and philosophical arguments and views in se t theory. Set theory has long been both a mathemat ical discipline and a program with foundational mo tivations. It seems that this dual character makes it a natural crossway between mathematics and phi losophy, possibly more so than other mathematical disciplines. We welcome contributions which a) a dd to current discussions in the philosophy of set theory by relating philosophical and mathematical arguments to one another; by working out the phil osophical import of set-theoretic results; or by g iving set-theoretic explications of philosophical concepts; b) question or uphold the relevance of philosophical arguments in set theory. c) analyse the mathematical and philosophical content of the concept "set-theoretic practice" as used in recen t set-theoretic programs. d) investigate how the inclusion of alternative set theories impact the p hilosophy of set theory.

The proje ct “Forcing: Concep tual Change in the Foundations of Mathematics” (2018-2023) aims to analyse the development of mo dern set theory since the introduction of the forc ing technique both from a historical and philosoph ical point of view. It brings together methods and research questions from different research areas in the history and philosophy of mathematics to in vestigate if and how the extensive use of the forc ing method brought about a conceptual change in se t theory; and in which ways this may influence the philosophy of set theory and the foundations of m athematics.
\n\nThe research group organis es a series of Networking Conferences with the goa l of reaching out to researchers from these differ ent areas. The second instalment will be devoted t o the topic of recent set theory as a bridge between mathematics and philosophy and focuse s on the interaction between mathematical and phil osophical arguments and views in set theory. Set t heory has long been both a mathematical discipline and a program with foundational motivations. It s eems that this dual character makes it a natural c rossway between mathematics and philosophy, possib ly more so than other mathematical disciplines.
We welcome contributions which<
br>\n a) add to current discussions in the philos
ophy of set theory by relating philosophical and m
athematical arguments to one another; by working o
ut the philosophical import of set-theoretic resul
ts; or by giving set-theoretic explications of phi
losophical concepts;
\n b) question or uphold
the relevance of philosophical arguments in set th
eory.
\n c) analyse the mathematical and philo
sophical content of the concept "set-theoreti
c practice" as used in recent set-theoretic p
rograms.
\n d) investigate how the inclusion o
f alternative set theories impact the philosophy o
f set theory.
