Follow on Google News | Climbing Ladders, Building Bridges: Mathematical Philosophy at WorkHow can the application of mathematical methods be used to gain new insights into age-old philosophical questions? On September 2, join experts for a discussion at the GCRI NY on math, science, and philosophy and the relationship between them.
By: German Center for Research and Innovation (GCRI) Prof. Stephan Hartmann, Chair of Philosophy of Science at the Ludwig-Maximilians- From 2007 to 2012, Prof. Hartmann worked at Tilburg University in the Netherlands, where he was Chair in Epistemology and Philosophy of Science. Before moving to Tilburg, he was Professor of Philosophy at the London School of Economics and Director of LSE’s Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science. Prof. Hartmann’s primary research and teaching areas are philosophy of science, philosophy of physics, formal epistemology, and social epistemology. His publications include the book Bayesian Epistemology (Oxford University Press, 2003). Prof. Hartmann’s current research interests include formal social epistemology, inter-theoretic relations, and (imprecise) probabilities in quantum mechanics. He will be joined by Prof. Branden Fitelson, Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University and Visiting Professor of Philosophy at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy at the Ludwig-Maximilians- Before teaching at Rutgers and LMU, Prof. Fitelson held teaching positions at UC Berkeley, San Jose State, and Stanford University. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before embarking on a career in philosophy, Prof. Fitelson studied math and physics at UW-Madison and worked as a research scientist for a NASA contractor. His research interests include theories of confirmation, accuracy, and coherence as well as topics in probability theory and Bayesian reasoning. Forthcoming publications include “Individual Coherence and Group Coherence” (in Essays in Collective Epistemology). This event will take place on Tuesday, September 2, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the German Center for Research and Innovation (871 United Nations Plaza, First Avenue, btw. 48th & 49th Streets).
