SUMMARY:Mathematical & Metaphysical Explanation II
 : Explanation,  Grounding & Dependance, Pavia, Ita
 ly
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20171214
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20171216
LOCATION:Pavia, Italy
DESCRIPTION:The last decade has witnessed an incre
 asing interest in two related notions, the notion 
 of metaphysical explanation, or grounding, and the
  notion of mathematical  explanation. Grounding is
  often described as a relation in which  explanans
  and  explanandum are connected, not through some 
 sort of causal mechanism, but through  some consti
 tutive form of determination. Mathematical explana
 tions, on the other hand,  are seen as mathematica
 l proofs that not only prove that something is tru
 e, but also why  something is true.    After a fir
 st meeting aimed at taking a first step towards br
 idging these two areas of investigation, the works
 hop aims at further deepening our understanding of
  the connections between mathematical explanation,
  grounding, and metaphysical dependance, exploring
  in particular the relationship between grounding 
 and recent views of mathematical explanation, the 
 role of metaphysical dependance in the debate on i
 ndispensability argument, and the application of m
 etaphysical and conceptual grounding to abstractio
 n principles in the foundations of mathematics.
