Forleden var jeg inviteret i studiet til Huxi Bach's spændende podcast Ubegribeligt for at tale om tal. Det kom der en ret god udsendelse ud af, synes jeg. Du kan høre den her: https://t.co/YkLHSsxc0T

If any of my PMP-friends are over here, I miss you at the Elephant hkragh at social.scholar.

We could do philosophically interpreted interviews and questionnaires like the eye-opener in Eva Müller-Hills dissertation and papers. But I would like less interpretation and more direct profession like James Franklin at UNSW.

[Henrik Kragh @hkraghs]

Can anyone show me (or tell me how to produce) a list of [self-professed] contemporary platonist mathematicians? I keep reading 'many mathematicians are platonists', and I could even write so myself, but is it backed by any kind of (empirical, individ based) evidence?

[Henrik Kragh @hkraghs]

Intended as a (self-)criticism, there is also a positive aspect to this concern: I would genuinely like to compare texts of platonist and 'non-platonist' or 'mainstream' mathematicians.

@BrendanLarvor @cdutilhnovaes @Wiglet1981 @FennerTanswell @TobyMeadows @audreyseokhean @littmath @evanewashington @vavimproject From the perspective of how mathematicians choose good problems @MikkelWillum has done something interesting. And I know @DenizPhiMa is up to something.

As previously announced, we organize another online mini-conference on Topics in Philosophy of Mathematical Practice in conjunction with our summer course in Copenhagen. The mini conference is held August 8-10 and you can check the program here: https://t.co/vLMonvF6tx.

[Henrik Kragh @hkraghs]

This year, there are four talks by Jessica Carter, Simon DeDeo, Ben Martin, and Ben Davies.
The format is informal, giving room to our course students as well as colleagues to engage in interesting discussions about recent and interesting developments in our field.
