The second session of the Analytic Salon will be on the philosophy of math and logic.
Did you know that there are different sizes of infinity (smaller and bigger infinities)? Did you know that we can prove that there are facts in mathematics that we cannot prove? Did you know that mathematics has been shown to not reduce to pure logic? If you want to learn more about why -- come to the second session of the Analytic Salon.
After a first session that exceeded our expectations, we are taking it up a notch: We will have philosophers explain the results above and then we will all ask together what they mean, really? What do they tell us about the limits of human reason? Are infinities real? Is mathematics invented or discovered?
Come hear what other philosophically inclined folks like you have to say about all that.

RSVP is *required*. IF PARTIFUL IS FULL, TRY Google forms HERE:

FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW US YET:
The Analytic Salon is a series of philosophy gatherings where we crack the code of analytic philosophy. What is it? What is it for? And what is it all about? This is your chance to come meet real philosophers. We don't require ANY knowledge of analytic philosophy: this is meant to be a fun mini-lecture event followed by vivid (and respectful) discussion for non-specialists with sharp and curious minds. Let's chat. We believe quite strongly in logic, truth, rationality as a key to conversation and to intellectual exploration.
Come hang with us! We believe in spreading the word of analytic philosophy beyond the ivory tower.
