SUMMARY:International Conference "Varieties of Mat
 hematical Abstraction", Vienna, Austria
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180801
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20180803
LOCATION:Vienna, Austria
DESCRIPTION:Mathematical abstraction is a general 
 phenomenon, a process by which we generalize from 
 the properties and relations of particular objects
  to the abstract, mathematical structure that thos
 e objects exhibit. It is a process that can be ite
 rated to achieve higher levels of abstraction, and
  plays an important role in shaping how we think a
 bout and understand empirical phenomena. The main 
 objective of this conference is to explore the phi
 losophical significance of mathematical abstractio
 n from different perspectives: metaphysically, epi
 stemologically, historically, and practically. Par
 ticular attention will be devoted to the role of a
 bstraction in mathematical practice.  We invite th
 e submission of abstracts, suitable for a 40 minut
 e presentation (followed by 20 minutes for questio
 ns), on topics related to any aspects of mathemati
 cal abstraction. We encourage submissions from ear
 ly career researchers and PhD students. Abstracts 
 should be prepared for blind review.
