The conference Alain Badiou: Thinking the Infinite intends to unite mathematicians and philosophers eager to engage with Badiou’s ontological and mathematical postulates. The conference will include a keynote lecture by Alain Badiou, in which he will demonstrate the logical necessity of grasping Being through mathematics. It will also include a series of roundtables, whose goal will be to create a dialogue between mathematicians and philosophers. Is the identification of ontology with mathematics more than a simple philosophical extravagance? Why has physics been sutured of necessity to mathematics? And how can we define the relationship between mathematics and philosophy today?
