SUMMARY:History and Philosophy of Infinity (FotFS 
 VIII), Cambridge, England
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20130920
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20130923
LOCATION:Cambridge, England
DESCRIPTION:The concept of infinity has fascinated
  philosophers and mathematicians for many centurie
 s: e.g., the distinction between the potential and
  actual infinite appears in Aristotle's Physics (i
 n his treatment of the paradoxes of Zeno) and the 
 notion was implied in the attempts to sharpen the 
 method of approximation (starting as early as Arch
 imedes and running through the middle ages and int
 o the nineteenth century). Modern mathematics open
 ed the doors to the wealth of the realm of the inf
 inities by means of the set-theoretic foundations 
 of mathematics.   Any philosophical interaction wi
 th concepts of infinite must have at least two asp
 ects: first, an inclusive examination of the vario
 us branches and applications, across the various p
 eriods; but second, it must proceed in the critica
 l light of mathematical results, including results
  from meta-mathematics. The conference History & P
 hilosophy of Infinity will emphasize philosophical
 , empirical and historical approaches.   For more 
 information, see http://www.math.uni-bonn.de/peopl
 e/fotfs/VIII/   The Programme Committee cordially 
 invites all researchers to submit their papers for
  presentation. Submission deadline is 31 May 2013.
