4th Summer School on Mathematical Philosophy for Female Students 2017

[Joao Marcos]

Idea and Motivation

The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) is organizing the
fourth Summer School on Mathematical Philosophy for Female Students,
which will be held from July 30 to August 5, 2017 in Munich, Germany.
The summer school is open to excellent female students who want to
specialize in mathematical philosophy.

Since women are significantly underrepresented in philosophy generally
and in formal philosophy in particular, this summer school is aimed at
encouraging women to engage with mathematical methods and apply them
to philosophical problems. This year the focus of the summer school
will be to provide an infrastructure for developing expertise in
formal approaches used in (1) philosophy of language, (2) philosophy
of logic, and (3) philosophy of mathematics. The summer school will
offer the opportunity for study in an informal setting, lively debate,
and for the development of a network with students and professors
interested in the application of formal methods in philosophy of
science. Finally, being located at the MCMP, the summer school will
also provide a stimulating and interdisciplinary environment for
meeting like-minded philosophers.
