- Talk describes a novel paradox in naive category theory
Sixth year LPS graduate student Michael Ernst presented his recent research at two
international workshops on the philosophy of mathematics in Europe in late June and
early July. His paper describes a new paradox in the important foundational area of
mathematics known as category theory. This paradox suggests that it is not possible
to formalize category theory in a way that at some mathematicians and philosophers
have argued would be desirable. The first event was hosted by the SPHERE working group
at the University of Paris, 7, on June 25; the second was a conference titled "What
can Category Theory do for Philosophy?", hosted by the University of Kent from July
9 to the 11th.
