The proceedings remain unpublished a complete set of recordings is in the Archive. V) London Ontario in February 1993: A Conference on The Subject: ‘What Is Needed in Principle of A Foundation for Mathematics and in What respects do either Category Theory or Set Theory Meet or fail to meet such Needs?’ This Meeting was sponsored by the Archive. Iv) Interviews in San Sebastian, Spain in 1992 with leading French and Russian Mathematicians and Physicists, including the late Rene Thom. Iii) Interviews in Como, Italy in July 1990 with Professors Saunders MacLane and Samuel Eilenberg, two of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th Century
#DR. WILLIAM EARMAN ARCHIVE#
Professor Lawvere has been the subjct of several one-to-one Interviews by the Archive since 1989, and in 2005 was the first subject for an intensive Panel Interview extending over 10 days See the Preface of that number and the Introduction to Lawvere’s lecture for further details. Lawvere’s lectures and a selection from the proceedings of the workshop were published as a special double number of the journal Philosophia Mathematica in June 1994. William Lawvere, followed by a 6 Day International Workshop on Categories in The Foundations of Mathematics, Language and Theories of Cognition. Ii) June 1989 / Cambridge UK : A Series of Invited Lectures on Categories and The Foundations of Mathematics given by Professor F. Earman on his work in Cosmology and Philosophy of Physics. The Lectures were followed by an Interview and Panel Discussion with Prof. For details see the acknowlegements in Earman’s Preface. I) June 1988 / Cambridge UK: Invited Lectures by Professor John Earman, subsequently published as World Enough and Space-Time, and followed by a 4 Day Workshop. Complete sets of recordings of all these are in the Archive. Invited Lectures, Courses, Workshops, Conferences and Panel Interviews and Discussions

Some of those which have taken place over the last 20 years are listed below and a fuller account of them can be supplied on request.

The Archive aims particularly to build on the Programme of Panel Discussions and Extended Interviews /”Rencontres” with leading researchers. As well as Panel Interviews, the Archive has also arranged a number of extended one-to-one interviews with leading figures in various fields within Mathematics Physics and Cosmology, and in the History and Philosophy of ScienceĪ major aim of the Archive is to develop and expand this Programme of Meetings, Workshops, Panel Discussions and individual Interviews by capitalising on the already established network of regular contacts in the research community. These have focussed mainly on questions in the foundations of mathematics and the exact sciences.

Since 1988, the Archive has directly commissioned or sponsored a series of Invited Lectures, Courses, Workshops, Conferences and Panel Interviews/Discussions.
