The objective is to reflect on the cognitive basis of the human
abilities to reason abstractly, in mathematics and logic. While looked
down on by major philosophers (such as Frege), these abilities have been
extensively studied by psychologists and cognitive scientists; our
assumption is that the issue can still benefit from philosophical
analysis. A non-exhaustive list of suggestions of topics is:

- Nativism
- What is to naturalize the epistemology of logic and mathematics?
- The role of language in acquiring logico-mathematical abilities
- The nature of logico-mathematical error
- Frege against psychologism
- Logico-mathematical cognition and physical environment

We aim to have talks by philosophers and philosophically-minded
psychologists / cognitive scientists. A title, an abstract (300-500
words), and an academic CV should be sent to sorin.bangu@uib.no before
September 30. The presentation of the paper should take ca. 30 min; a 15
min Q&A will follow.

Registration is free. A modest sum will be allocated to every
participant to help defray the costs of travel and accommodation.
