DESCRIPTION:Our Philosophy of Mathematics Reading 
 Group has the honor to start 2021 by hosting Luca 
 Incruvati presenting his 2020 book 'Conceptions of
  Set and the Foundations of Mathematics' published
  by the Cambridge University Press. The book is ac
 cessible from the UvA Library.  Book Summary: Sets
  are central to mathematics and its foundations, b
 ut what are they? In this book Luca Incurvati prov
 ides a detailed examination of all the major conce
 ptions of set and discusses their virtues and shor
 tcomings, as well as introducing the fundamentals 
 of the alternative set theories with which these c
 onceptions are associated. He shows that the conce
 ptual landscape includes not only the naïve and it
 erative conceptions but also the limitation of siz
 e conception, the definite conception, the stratif
 ied conception and the graph conception. In additi
 on, he presents a novel, minimalist account of the
  iterative conception which does not require the e
 xistence of a relation of metaphysical dependence 
 between a set and its members. His book will be of
  interest to researchers and advanced students in 
 logic and the philosophy of mathematics.
