Philosophy of mathematics is moving in a new direction: away from a foundationalism in terms of formal logic and traditional ontology, and towards a broader range of approaches that are united by a focus on mathematical practice. The scientific research network PhiMSAMP (Philosophy of Mathematics: Sociological Aspects and Mathematical Practice) consisted of researchers from a variety of backgrounds and fields, brought together by their common interest in the shift of philosophy of mathematics towards mathematical practice. Hosted by the Rheinische Friedrich- Wilhelms-Universitat Bonn and...

Systematic comparison and transfer studies, as well as aspects of entangled history, are employed in relation to themes such as different cultural meanings pertaining to the same term; the transfer of treatment practices and institutional regimes; localised practices and (re)-emerging forms of patient care; the circulation of early anti-psychiatrists' views; the impact of war...
