Background

The philosophy of mathematics is experiencing a profound renewal of its interests and methods. It is reflected both in a diversity of approaches – without exclusivity, and in alphabetical order: epistemology, conceptual history, logic and metamathematics, ontology, phenomenology, philosophy of mathematical practice, sociology, structuralism –, a movement of openness and dialogue between traditions, and a growing internationalisation of the discipline.
However, this general movement remains limited by the relatively weak dialogue between contemporary mathematics and philosophy, between mathematicians and philosophers.

Objectives

In view of these observations, the review M×Φ is intended to:

• Disseminate innovative work in philosophy and mathematics, and particularly on recent or contemporary mathematics.
• Encourage joint ventures between philosophers and mathematicians, particularly in the context of thematic issues.
• Encourage diversity of approaches.
• Promote studies on the interactions and applications of mathematics (without exclusion), such as those with biology, chemistry, computer science and artificial intelligence, physics, cognitive sciences, humanities, educational sciences and didactics, etc. These subjects will be in particular the subject of thematic issues.
• Editing and publishing unpublished or not easily accessible texts, their translation, or publishing testimonies of particular significance of mathematicians, even if they do not practise a philosophical analysis in the strict sense of the word.
