The Department of Philosophy and the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Porto are pleased to welcome Vladimir Drekalović (University of Montenegro) for two sessions dedicated to contemporary issues in the philosophy of mathematics and to questions concerning the teaching of philosophy of science. The sessions will address the significance of mathematical Platonism within contemporary philosophy of science, as well as some of the specific pedagogical challenges involved in teaching philosophy through topics in the philosophy of mathematics.
**First Session:**
_**Traditional and Contemporary Mathematical Platonism – Challenges and Problems**_
**11 May 2026, 18:00-21:00 | Room 105**(Torre A – Piso 0)
_Room: A105_
Platonism in mathematics is a topic that philosophers of science have dealt with since antiquity. The way in which it was defended in antiquity is quite different from the approach used in contemporary philosophy of mathematics. We will present some of the basic characteristics of both traditional and contemporary Platonism, the challenges faced by each, as well as the problems inherent in both approaches. We will highlight the reasons why mathematical Platonism holds particular significance in the philosophy of science and in the philosophy of mathematics.
**Keywords:** Philosophy of science, philosophy of mathematics, mathematical Platonism.
**Second Session:**
_**Specific Characteristics of Teaching Philosophy of Science – The Case of Philosophy of Mathematics**_
**14 May 2026, 13:30-15:30 | Sala do Departamento de Filosofia**(Torre B – Piso 1)
_Room: B180-DFIL_
Teaching philosophy has certain specific features in comparison with teaching in other fields. We will highlight some of these specific characteristics and discuss the reasons for their existence. Through several examples, we will analyze such specificities, pointing to the need for philosophy teachers to possess a broad range of knowledge. In this context, we will examine the meaning of the term “correlation,” which is often used only formally in connection with the idea of establishing links between different school subjects.
**Keywords:** Teaching philosophy of science, philosophy of mathematics, examples, correlation.
