Description:
This centennial conference commemorates the discovery of Russell's paradox, which revolutionized
philosophical inquiry and foundational thinking about mathematics, and led to the development of the new
and thriving field of mathematical logic.
The conference brings together leading scholars from the following fields: Russell Studies; Mathematical Logic; Set Theory; Philosophy of Mathematics.
The aim of the conference is to contribute to the understanding of Russell's discovery in its historical context, and to attempt an assessment of the meaning of set theory in the light of both current conceptions and recent technical findings in the above-mentioned fields.
