Mathematics in Physics
01 Jun 2023 - 02 Jun 2023 • Oslo, Norway
Organizer:
University of Oslo
Abstract:
This workshop will explore the use of particular mathematical or formal features—construed as theoretical virtues—as non-empirical guides and means of theory confirmation in physics. In particular, we are interested in exploring whether, or how, the use of these features in theory-assessment is related to mathematical explanation and indispensability arguments. The workshop’s aim is novel and exploratory in tying together these debates in the philosophy of mathematics with those regarding theoretical virtues in the philosophy of science, and non-empirical confirmation in the philosophy of physics.
Topics:
General Philosophy of Science, Philosophy of Mathematics, Philosophy of Physical Science
Abstract submission deadline:
20 Feb 2023
