Volume II, number 2, 2024
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.
