Gregory Lavers, PhD

Dr. Lavers received his Ph.D. from the University of Western Ontario in 2004. His teaching and research interests focus on issues at the intersection of history of analytic philosophy (including Frege, Russell, Wittgenstein, Carnap, and Quine), philosophy of language, and the philosophy of mathematics. His current research explores the relation between philosophical analysis and the identification of mathematical axioms in order to better understand the special place of mathematics among the sciences. Much of his work has focused in particular on examining Carnap`s position on the foundations of mathematics. Dr. Lavers is part of an FQRSC funded research group called the Groupe de recherche interuniversitaire de Montréal en histoire et en philosophie de la logique et des mathématiques.  He has also received FQRSC funding for his own research project.
