New Perspectives on Conventionalism

Conventionalist approaches to areas of discourse such as logic and mathematics were for many years almost universally rejected, but this appears to be changing. Recent years have seen the publication of significant works broadly in the conventionalist tradition, works that respond to objections previously thought to be fatal for conventionalism and that develop and defend views that either are explicitly conventionalist or at least are clearly indebted to historical conventionalist approaches. We aim to bring together philosophers working on topics related to conventionalism, its challenges, and its prospects for a workshop on these themes.
