  Philosophy of Mathematics, Zuerich, Switzerland
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120824
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120825
LOCATION:Zuerich, Switzerland
DESCRIPTION:The conference aims to present, promot
 e and provoke research on Ludwig Wittgenstein's ph
 ilosophy of mathematics. Wittgenstein is one of th
 e most important philosophers of the 20^th century
  and he considered his most significant contributi
 on to be in the philosophy of mathematics. Neverth
 eless, this contribution has received far less att
 ention than the rest of his work. Recent research 
 shows that early interpreters often failed to appr
 eciate the radical nature of his critique of the o
 rthodoxy. It also suggests that his philosophy of 
 mathematics still contains much from which the fie
 ld can profit. We therefore intend to discuss the 
 development of Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathem
 atics, the debates it has already provoked and the
  lessons it might hold for contemporary debates.  
  Attendance is free, but registration is requested
 . For registration and further information please

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\n      <p>The confer
 ence aims to present, promote and provoke research
 \n      on Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy of mat
 hematics. Wittgenstein\n      is one of the most i
 mportant philosophers of the 20^th century\n      
 and he considered his most significant contributio
 n to be in the\n      philosophy of mathematics. N
 evertheless, this contribution has\n      received
  far less attention than the rest of his work. Rec
 ent\n      research shows that early interpreters 
 often failed to\n      appreciate the radical natu
 re of his critique of the\n      orthodoxy. It als
 o suggests that his philosophy of mathematics\n   
    still contains much from which the field can pr
 ofit. We\n      therefore intend to discuss the de
 velopment of Wittgenstein's\n      philosophy of m
 athematics, the debates it has already provoked\n 
      and the lessons it might hold for contemporar
 y debates.\n      </p>\n    \n      <p>Attendance
