W09.2: Data-Driven Methods for Philosophy
9:00am - 3:00pm
23.21 U1.72
Location: 23.21 U1.72
Computational methods have revolutionized most fields of academic research, including the humanities. More recently, they have also been put to use in the philosophy of science, history of philosophy, and metaphilosophy. In this satellite workshop, we discuss techniques from the digital humanities, network science and artificial intelligence research that can support the study of philosophical...
Participation Information\r\nDear participants in the GAP satellite workshop,\r\n \r\nIn this satellite workshop, we will rely on Google Colab notebooks. This service is free but requires a Google account, which you can set up in advance. If you already use Google Drive or have a Gmail account, you are all set.\r\n \r\nYou can find a basic overview of Google Colab here: https://colab.research.goog...
W03.2: Similarity after Carnap - Perspectives from Philosophy and Cognitive Science
9:00am - 3:00pm
23.21 U1.75
Location: 23.21 U1.75
In his Aufbau programme, Carnap sought to provide a formally rigorous account of how property concepts—and ultimately scientific theories—can be constructed on the basis of similarity, particularly through a procedure he called quasi-analysis. Goodman famously challenged the viability of this method, later even claiming that the appeal to similarity is inherently problematic. This workshop aims...

W02.2: Explanation and the “practical turn" in philosophy of mathematics – an interdisciplinary perspective
9:15am - 1:30pm
23.21 U1.76
Carolin Antos
Location: 23.21 U1.76
Session Chair: Carolin Antos
The practical turn in the philosophy of mathematics shifts the focus from traditional foundational questions to the actual practice of mathematics, opening new avenues for interdisciplinary engagement. One such field is mathematics education, where overlaps emerge particularly in epistemological questions—for example, the nature and role of explanation. This workshop aims to provide a forum for...
