SUMMARY:Foundations of Mathematics: What are they 
 and what are they for?, Cambridge, UK
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120710
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120712
LOCATION:Cambridge, UK
DESCRIPTION:The role of set theory as a foundation
  of mathematics has been criticized from various s
 tandpoints. The conference aims to shed light on t
 his debate by asking what foundations of mathemati
 cs are and what they are for.   Some people unders
 tand foundations as providing a justification for 
 mathematics; others as providing the subject matte
 r of mathematics; others still as providing us wit
 h an arena within which to settle all questions of
  existence and proof in mathematics. The conferenc
 e will bring together philosophers, logicians and 
 mathematicians to discuss whether any of these sen
 ses of foundations should be privileged. The prosp
 ects for a pluralistic approach to foundational is
 sues will also be considered.  For more informatio
 n, see http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/foundations/  We 
 invite papers suitable for a 40 minute presentatio
 n. The deadline for receipt of submissions is: 16t
 h March 2012.
