\nGö\;del&rsquo\;s writings published during his lifetime show his dual interest in scientific questions and in fundamental philosophical questions. The posthumous publication of certain manuscripts and talks enables one better to understand this double interest in science and in philosophy. On the one hand\, Gö\;del developed most of his scientific results in order to solve or clarify certain philosophical questions. On the other hand\, his scientific work in the foundations of mathematics and in cosmology enriched his philosophical thought on\, for example\, the a priori classification of philosophical systems\, and on the relations between the notions of concept and object. Hence\, not only did Gö\;del\, as is well known\, believe that philosophy might become an exact theory\, \; provided that one does for metaphysics what Newton did for physics\; he should moreover be aligned with Descartes\, Leibniz\, and other early modern philosophers who believed that science and philosophy are inseparable.
\nThe conference will explore several features of Gö\;del&rsquo\;s philosophy that emerge from the unpublished manuscripts Max-Phil\, which have been partly transcribed by the research group directed by Gabriella Crocco at CEPERC (Université\; Aix-Marseille). The presentation of the complete transcriptions of Max-Phil IX-XV will be accompanied by an exploration of Gö\;del&rsquo\;s philosophy of logic\, mathematics\, and physics by international specialists and young Gö\;del scholars.
\nThe official language of the Conference is English.
