Conference on Erwin Engeler’s 90th birthday and Ernst Specker’s
centenary
21–22 February 2020
ETH Zürich, HG G 19.1
In February 2020 will be Ernst Specker’s centenary and Erwin
Engeler’s 90th birthday. The Annual Meeting 2020 of the Swiss Society
for Logic and Philosophy of Science will celebrate these two great
and big birthdays. Succeeding Paul Bernays, these two prominent
scientists from Zurich had a sustainable impact on mathematical
logic and its relation to philosophy and informatics in the second
half of the 20th century.
The goal of the conference is to recall the work of those two great
Swiss logicians and to point to its continuing significance and
effectiveness. As this work is at the interface between
mathematics, logic, philosophy, informatics and physics, the
conference will be of special interest for researchers and students
in those different scientific disciplines.
This conference is supported by the Swiss Academy of Sciences as well
as by the Swiss Mathematical Society.
