<https://tb39b9b1c.emailsys2a.net/c/93/1201545/1878/0/3964292/569/82008/8cfc8d0ecd.html>
(KPF)
at the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt, Klagenfurt, Austria will hold a
symposium, lasting for about 2½ days, on the topic “Popper and the
Philosophy of Mathematics.” Karl Popper contributed intensively to the
theory of probability, to mathematical logic, and to some other areas of
mathematics, in addition to his main interests in the philosophy of
science, political philosophy, and other areas of philosophy. We are
looking forward to receiving proposals for presentations on any topics in
the philosophy of mathematics that relate to the work of Karl Popper and to
Critical Rationalism. Although there will be a focus on probability theory
and mathematical logic, papers on any topic related to the interface of
mathematics and philosophy will be welcome.
Scholars working in the areas outlined above are cordially invited to send
extended abstracts (of about 1500-2000 words) of papers to be presented at
the symposium in Klagenfurt. All proposals will be refereed by the
scientific committee chaired by David Miller (University of Warwick) and
Reinhard Neck (Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt). Authors of the best
presentations will be invited to submit their final papers for publication
in a special issue of a journal or a collective volume. Details to be
announced after the symposium. There will be no fees for participation, and
the cost of meals and hotel accommodation for three nights will be borne by
the KPF. Travelling expenses to and from Klagenfurt will in general be
reimbursed only in part.
Please send your proposal (with an email providing basic information about
the speaker’s academic background, attaching an extended abstract, PDF
preferred) tokp-f@xxxxxx as soon as possible and not later than *February
2, 2018*. Authors will be informed about acceptance or rejection by March
1, 2018, with more details about the program and the venue of the symposium.
