Delve into the intricate relationship between mathematical objects and philosophy of culture in this 1-hour 19-minute presentation. Examine three distinct attitudes towards mathematical objects: their derivation from truth, their self-presentation, and their role in constructing multiplicities that allow for difference without concept. Discover how Philosophy of Science integrates into the broader context of Philosophy of Culture, gaining insights from a brief historical overview of cultural philosophy. Conclude with Professor Salanskis' unique approach to Philosophy of Culture, known as etho-analysis, offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of mathematics, science, and cultural understanding.
