From Mathematical Object to Philosophy of Culture - February 23, 2024

Explore the intersection of mathematics and philosophy in this seminar presented 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 creating a unique form of multiplicity. Examine the argument for integrating Philosophy of Science into the broader context of Philosophy of Culture. Gain insights from a concise historical overview of cultural philosophy and discover Salanskis' personal approach, known as etho-analysis. This 1-hour 35-minute seminar, part of an 11-meeting series at Chapman University's Schmid College, offers a thought-provoking journey from mathematical concepts to cultural philosophical frameworks.
