Meeting Description:

On the occasion of World Philosophy Day in Russia proclaimed by UNESCO for 2009,
the St. Petersburg Department of V.A. Steklov Mathematical Institute (PDMI) of
the Russian Academy of Sciences announces the Conference 'Philosophy,
Mathematics, Linguistics: Aspects of Interaction' and the associated Workshop
'Number Words: Syntax, Semantics, Logic'. Organized in collaboration with
Faculty of Philosophy of St. Petersburg State University, IHPST/Chaire
d'Excellence 'Ontological Structure and Semantics Structure', Arché-St.Andrews -
the Philosophical Research Centre for Logic, Language, Metaphysics and
Epistemology, and the CSMN - the Centre for the Study of Mind in Nature, the
Conference will be held on November 19-22, and the pre-conference Workshop will
