DESCRIPTION:- What are the roles of pictures and d
 iagrams in mathematical proofs, in formal reasonin
 g, and in epistemic justification more broadly?  -
  Can pictures by themselves serve as arguments ins
 ofar as they can be persuasive and even convey a s
 ense of demonstrative certainty?  For the most par
 t, these two questions have been discussed separat
 ely. We seek to bring them together and thereby ta
 ke them in new directions. These are philosophical
  questions that are addressed by many different di
 sciplines: STS, history of science, mathematics, e
 ngineering, media studies, and the visual arts. Th
 ey draw attention to technologies of picturing, th
 e contexts of practice in which proofs and procedu
 res of formal reasoning are employed, and problems
  and methods of teaching and communication.    Fur
 ther information will be posted at the conference 
 website http://artsandsciences.sc.edu/phil/content
 /trip2015  We invite submissions on any aspect of 
 the relation between pictures and proofs. Please s
 ubmit by (extended deadline) November 30, 2014, a 
 400 to 600 word abstract (no manuscript required).
