27 November 2020, Φ-Math: Philosophy of Mathematics Reading Group

Φ-Math is a philosophy of mathematics reading group created by MoL students, open to any enthusiast! We meet once every two Fridays to discuss a text on philosophy of mathematics, be it a classic paper or a new heterodox perspective on the subject. Besides, we also host other philosophy of mathematics related events that require no readingpreparation. The group gives priority to the interests of its members, urging them to choose the content and the structure of its activities.

For the upcoming reading session, we expect attendants to have read in advance: Benacerraf, Paul. "What Numbers Could Not Be." The Philosophical Review 74, no. 1 (1965): 47-73. The article can be accessed freely by University of Amsterdam students through JSTOR, by logging in with the institution.
