Our project on Russell’s logic is hiring a 12‑month postdoc researcher! If you’d like to move to Lisbon to work on Russell’s place in the history of modern and contemporary logic, consider applying (please, note the deadline: May, 14th).

After four years in Lisbon, yesterday was my last day at LanCog and the Faculty of Sciences of the UL. Today, I join @unicomplutense as an assistant professor! It's a bittersweet moment, but I'm very excited about moving to Madrid and working at the Faculty of Philosophy
Proposals that engage with Fregean approaches to logic and the philosophy of mathematics, both from contemporary and historical perspectives, are welcome. We look forward to receiving submissions!

This year marks the centenary of Frege’s death in 1925.

We are organising a workshop in Lisbon to commemorate Frege’s legacy, focusing on Fregean logic and the philosophy of mathematics. We welcome both historical and contemporary contributions.

The call for abstracts is open until 30th April.

Please check the details on the workshop’s website: https://cful.letras.ulisboa.pt/lancog/events/commemorating-frege-logic-and-philosophy-of-mathematics/

Commemorating Frege: Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics – Lancog

In my review, I deal with two issues Schröder considera in these works that have, I think, some historical relevance: a definition of equinumerosity of (finite) collections, and the status of the distribute laws in the calculus of classes.

A preprint can be found on my website: https://bertransanmillan.net/research/

My review of Pollard’s “Ernst Schröder on Algebra and Logic” has been published (online) in Philosophia Mathematica! https://academic.oup.com/philmat/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/philmat/nkae012/7720423

Pollard's volume contains English translations of two of Schröder's early works, the “Lehrbuch der Arithmetik und Algebra für Lehrer und Studirende” (1873) and “Der Operationskreis des Logikkalkuls” (1877): https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-05671-0

Stephen Pollard.* Ernst Schröder on Algebra and Logic

It is widely accepted that Ernst Schröder’s works on logic have been understudied. The fact that virtually none of Schröder’s writings have been translated

There will be some slots for contributed talks, and we have just announced a call for abstracts. Submission details are in the link: https://cfcul.ciencias.ulisboa.pt/divulgacao/call-for-abstracts-roots-and-new-trends-in-logicism-workshop/?divulgar=calls

Both historical and philosophical takes on logicism are welcome. We are looking forward to receiving contributions!

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS – Roots and New Trends in Logicism Workshop – CFCUL

Bruno Jacinto and I are organising a workshop on (neo)logicism in Lisbon (September, 11-13).

The invited speakers are: Ludovica Conti (IUSS Pavia), Fernando Ferreira (University of Lisbon), Salvatore Florio (University of Oslo), Sébastien Gandon (Clermont Auvergne University), Gregory Landini (University of Iowa) and Hannes Leitgeb (LMU Munich – MCMP).

I'm a historian of logic. My research focuses upon the relationship between Frege’s, Peano’s, Russell’s and Hilbert’s developments in mathematical logic.

My paper on Peano's geometry has finally been published! https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-42190-7_2

It is my contribution to Paola Cantù and Georg Schiemer's edited volume "Logic, Epistemology and Scientific Theories - From Peano to the Vienna Circle" (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-42190-7).

Peano’s Geometry: From Empirical Foundations to Abstract Development

In Principii di Geometria (1889b) and ‘Sui fondamenti della Geometria’ (1894) Peano offers axiomatic presentations of projective geometry. There seems to be a tension in Peano's construction of geometry in these two works: on the one hand, Peano...
