This special issue in two volumes is devoted to a certain French tradition in the philosophy of mathematics, a tradition characterized by the tutelary presence of two major figures, Jean Cavaillès (1903-1944) and Albert Lautman (1908-1944), both of whom were shot by the Nazi occupiers for their involvement in the French resistance, and both of whom produced original, albeit unfinished, works in the course of their short lives.
This issue features five articles, one tribute and one review essay.
You can read and download the articles from this issue below.
This issue, by invitation, gives an overview of the major issues open to mathematical philosophy through the testimonies and commitments of personalities representative of the two communities, mathematical and philosophical.
