About this video
This video is part of the "Analytic Philosophy in Everyday Life" dossier and addresses one of the most fundamental relationships in contemporary philosophy: the connection between analytic philosophy and mathematics. In this conversation, Hossein Bayat, a researcher in the philosophy of science, and Arezoo Eslami, a faculty member in philosophy at San Francisco State University, are the guests, with Mohammadreza Vaez hosting the discussion.
The focus of the conversation is the place of mathematics in our understanding of the world, science, and rationality. From the perspective of analytic philosophy, questions such as the nature of mathematical propositions, the relationship of mathematics to reality, the role of logic in mathematical reasoning, and the application of mathematics in the natural sciences are of particular importance.
The significance of this program lies in the fact that mathematics is not merely the language of calculation and a tool for the sciences; rather, it is one of the primary fields of philosophical inquiry into truth, abstraction, structure, and the possibility of knowledge. This conversation is suitable for those interested in the philosophy of science, logic, the philosophy of mathematics, and the analytic philosophical tradition.
