AIM and SCOPE =============

The PhML 2012 is a sequel in the series of conferences "Philosophy, Mathematics, Linguistics: Aspects of Interaction" intended to provide a forum for presentation of current researches, and to stimulate a dialogue between mathematicians, logicians, philosophers, linguists and computer scientists who share an interest in cross-disciplinary research. The conference will have plenary sessions to present the latest researches. In addition to plenary sessions, the conference will feature a panel discussion entitled "The Heritage of Kant and Contemporary Formal Logic". Apart from plenary sessions, there will also be parallel sessions of thematic sections to present contributed papers.

The PhML 2012 will be held on May 22$BK(J5, 2012, at the Euler International Mathematical Institute (EIMI), which is a part of the St. Petersburg Department of Steklov Mathematical Institute (PDMI).
