In May/June 2017, we will visit several universities and research institutes in Germany and Italy to deliver the lecture “Wittgenstein’s Philosophy and the Creation vs. Discovery Question of Mathematics.”

The lecture covers key points of the just-published book The Construction of Mathematics: The Human Mind’s Greatest Achievement. A discussion period is scheduled after the lecture.

The lecture is tailored for the general public and everyone is welcome to attend. No mathematical knowledge is necessary or assumed. For the location of the lecture hall and any other information, please contact the organizer of the university/institute for details.
