Meanings and Understanding via Proofs. Logical and Epistemological Approaches
The virtual component of the School will consist in online meetings that will take place before the physical part of the School in Bucharest (July 17-21) as well as in several online presentations that will be given by some invited speakers during the physical part of the School. In addition to this, the professors will also offer online supervision based on individual meetings with the students, when necessary. The School aims to provide logical and epistemological approaches to meanings and understanding starting from the fundamental role that inferences and proofs play in the use of language in mathematics, philosophy, natural and social sciences, as well as in the teaching and learning of formal sciences, or in everyday argumentation and interactions.
