From Mathematical Object to Philosophy of Culture - April 12, 2024

Explore the intersection of mathematics and philosophy in this seminar talk by Professor Jean-Michel Salanskis, a visiting scholar from the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS). Delve into three distinct perspectives on mathematical objects: their derivation from truth, their self-presentation, and their role in constructing unique multiplicities that allow for difference without concept. Examine the argument for integrating Philosophy of Science into the broader field of Philosophy of Culture, including a brief historical overview of cultural philosophy. Conclude with an introduction to Professor Salanskis' personal approach to Philosophy of Culture, known as etho-analysis. This 1-hour 34-minute presentation is part of an 11-meeting seminar series held at Chapman University's Schmid College between February 23 and May 10, 2024.
