    Introduction: From Practice to Results in Mathematics and Logic
    with Valeria Giardino, Sandra Mois, and Jean Paul Van Bendegem
    Philosophia Scientiae 1 (16-1): 5-11. 2012.
    1 Mathematical practice: a short overview This volume is a collection of essays that discuss the relationships between the practices deployed by logicians and mathematicians, either as individuals or as members of research communities, and the results from their research. We are interested in exploring the concept of 'practices' in the formal sciences. Though common in the history, philosophy and sociology of science, this concept has surprisingly thus far been little reflected upon in logic...

    Introduction: History and Philosophy of Logical Notation
    with Francesco Bellucci and Ahti-Veikko Pietarinen
    History and Philosophy of Logic 39 (1): 1-2. 2018.
    We propose a reconstruction of the constellation of problems and philosophical positions on the nature and number of the primitives of logic in four authors of the nineteenth century logical scene: Peano, Padoa, Frege and Peirce. We argue that the proposed reconstruction forces us to recognize that it is in at least four different senses that a notation can be said to be simpler than another, and we trace the origins of these four senses in the writings of these authors. We conclude that Frege, …Read more
