Visual Reasoning and Intuition in Mathematics. From Kant's Euclidicity to Digitalization

„Visual Reasoning and Intuition in Mathematics. From Kant’s Euclidicity to Digitalization”

Is mathematics only about proof? In search for its foundation, mathematics was often conceived as a hierarchic and uniform edifice of ideas. A praxeological view reverses this image. It considers a plurality of mathematical practices from heuristics and problem solving to communication. It reveals a historic and pragmatic diversity of approaches and media of mathematical thinking. This international conference is conceived as a contribution to a praxeological philosophy of mathematics. It focuses on practices that include visualization and intuition.

Conference language is English.
