SUMMARY:Symposium on the Foundations of Mathematic
 s, Vienna, Austria
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20140707
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20140708
LOCATION:Vienna, Austria
DESCRIPTION:Set theory is taken to serve as a foun
 dation for mathematics. But it is well-known that 
 there are set-theoretic statements that cannot be 
 settled by the standard axioms of set theory. The 
 Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms, with the Axiom of Choice 
 (ZFC), are incomplete. The primary goal of this sy
 mposium is to explore the different approaches tha
 t one can take to the phenomenon of incompleteness
 . These different approaches have wider consequenc
 es for the concepts of meaning and truth in mathem
 atics and beyond. The conference will address thes
 e foundational issues at the intersection of philo
 sophy and mathematics. The primary goal of the con
 ference is to showcase contemporary philosophical 
 research on different approaches to the incomplete
 ness phenomenon.   For more information, see the c
 onference website at http://sotfom.wordpress.com/.
    We welcome submissions from scholars (in partic
 ular, young scholars, i.e. early career researcher
 s or post-graduate students) on any area of the fo
 undations of mathematics (broadly construed). Part
 icularly desired are submissions that address the 
 role of set theory in the foundations of mathemati
 cs, or the foundations of set theory (universe/mul
 tiverse dichotomy, new axioms, etc.) and related o
 ntological and epistemological issues. Submission 
 Deadline: 31 March 2014.
