This international colloquium will explore the lasting impact of Gottlob Frege, one of the founding figures of modern logic and analytic philosophy. Scholars from various fields, including logic, philosophy of language, and mathematics, will come together to discuss Frege’s contributions and their influence on contemporary thought.

The International Conference on Logic, Rationality and Interaction (LORI) conference series aims at bringing together researchers working on a wide variety of logic-related fields that concern the understanding of rationality and interaction. The series aims at fostering a view of Logic as an interdisciplinary endeavor, and supports the creation of an East-Asian community of interdisciplinary researchers.

The workshop focuses on the connections and differences between philosophical and logical approaches. The connections are strong. Most philosophical analyses are carried out within the analytic tradition and share a lot of their conceptual sources with logical approaches. For example, Lewis’s seminal work on convention, and the associated concept of social norms as a kind of convention, has inspired both philosophical analyses as well as logical approaches. This makes philosophical and logical results mostly compatible and/or complementary.

The APMP aims to foster the philosophy of mathematical practice, that is, a broad outward-looking cluster of approaches to understanding mathematics. Relevant themes include issues in the methodology and epistemology of mathematics, history of mathematics, applications of mathematics, mathematical education, and cognitive science.
