Modern mathematics and its philosophy (2026)

Organization of classes.

We will proceed by reading relevant articles and discussing them from various angles. The class will be organized as follows: I will introduce a certain philosophical topic and possibly add some necessary mathematical content. Then there will be a 60 minute part for reading papers (you can bring your own notebooks or tablets or use the computers in the adjacent rooms). In the final part we will be discussing the results.

Additionally, each student will pick an article and present it to the other students during the semester. 

How do we identify papers we will read?

We will start with some well-established articles and add new ones according to the interests of the students.
