Title: The Philosophical Misconceptions of the Incompleteness Theorem
Date: Friday 25 February 2022
Time: 17:00-19:00
Location: Room B0.207, Science Park 904, Amsterdam

On the first meeting of the Philosophy of Mathematics Reading Group in this academic year we will discuss some popular misinterpretations of Gödel's Theorem.

These will include (1) Lucas/Penrose style of arguments against mechanism, (2) GIT as a confirmation of Platonism, (3) The "postmodern" interpretation.

The talk will be given by Jan Gronwald. No preparation is required, but a look at the literature is most welcome.

There will be no Zoom broadcast of the meeting.
