Night in the Library: The Philosophy of Mathematics
Night in the Library, BPL's overnight festival of ideas, invites you to panels, workshops, performances and screenings that celebrate the free flow of ideas in the company of others.
For the program’s 10th edition, Night in the Library: The Philosophy of Mathematics will explore truths, proofs and other paradoxes. Math may feel remote, if not incomprehensible, to many. Yet it is a fundamental element in all components of our lives, underpinning everything from science and the natural world to architecture, sports, fashion, music and technology. Meet up at Central Library on Pi Day to consider the unexpected secrets and philosophies of mathematics—alongside topics like poetry, psychology, nature, and dreams—at an unforgettable night of art, culture and intellectual discovery.
Learn more about the lineup for the night, including keynote speaker Werner Herzog.
Night in the Library: The Philosophy of Mathematics is supported by the Simons Foundation and is part of its “Infinite Sums” initiative.
