22-23 April 2010, Philosophy of Mathematics: Sociological Aspects and Mathematical Practice (PhiMSAMP-6), Amsterdam & Utrecht (The Netherlands)
The Vereniging voor Logica (VvL) invites you cordially to the PhiMSAMP Book Launch (PhiMSAMP-6), held on 22 and 23 April 2010 in Amsterdam and Utrecht.
PhiMSAMP ("Philosophy of Mathematics: Sociological Aspects and Mathematical Practice") is an international research network funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and coordinated from Amsterdam and Utrecht aiming to combine tools from sociology, psychology, educational studies, history and other subjects to provide a philosophy of mathematics that has a closer affinity to actual mathematical research practice than the traditional foundationalist philosophies. The network worked on this from 2006 to 2010 during a number of workshops and conferences; the result of this work is a volume published in the series "Texts in Philosophy". This volume will be presented to the public at the event.
The event also includes the annual General Membership Meeting of the VvL during the lunch break (12:15-13:45) on the 23rd (in Hoog Catharijne, Utrecht).
For more information, see http://www.lib.uni-bonn.de/PhiMSAMP/6/. For the minutes of the previous VvL general membership meeting see http://www.verenigingvoorlogica.nl/verslagen/Notulen-ALV-19-jan-2007.pdf

23 April 2010, Leve de Wiskunde, UvA-onderzoekers aan het woord

Vrijdag 23 april is het weer zo ver: Leve de Wiskunde!
2010. Tijdens dit jaarlijks terugkerend congres vertellen
vooraanstaande wetenschappers over hun bevindingen in en
rondom de wiskunde. De onderwerpen zijn zeer uiteenlopend: van
logica tot algebra en van vermoedens over priemgetallen tot de
filosofie van de wiskunde.

23 April 2010, A Post-Kuhnian Approach to History and Philosophy of Science, Michael Friedman
What I call the dynamics of reason is an essentially historical response to the challenge to the rationality and objectivity of science arising in the wake of Kuhn's theory of scientific revolutions. I concentrate on developments in the mathematical exact sciences from Newton to Einstein together with parallel developments in scientific philosophy from Kant to logical empiricism, and I aim to show that Kant's original conception of scientific objectivity and rationality can be relativized and historicized in such a way that a trans-historical version of such objectivity and rationality is nonetheless preserved. I now want to look in more detail at historical developments leading up to the Kantian synthesis so as to bring both theological issues (culminating in Newton's metaphysics of space and Kant's reaction to it) and cultural and institutional events (involving the Church's very complex relationship to the new astronomy) into my historical narrative. Far from compromising the 'purely intellectual' integrity of the scientific and philosophical developments taking place in this wider context, my expanded narrative rather underscores their central importance.
