Aristotelian Diagrams from Ancient Logic to Artificial Intelligence
In this talk I will present the research program of logical geometry, which deals with Aristotelian diagrams such as the square of opposition and many others. These diagrams have a long history, which can ultimately be traced back to the logical works of Aristotle, and today they have found applications in a wide array of disciplines, including linguistics, psychology and artificial intelligence. In the talk I will mainly focus on the historical-philosophical aspects of logical geometry, while also highlighting some of its core mathematical results. In a case study that brings together these various aspects, I will show how the ancient discussion on privative and infinite negation can be understood through the lens of the so-called logic-sensitivity of Aristotelian diagrams.

The status of number in medieval mathematics and natural philosophy.
Following Aristotle or Nicomachus and then Boethius, philosophers often have a conception of number that is incompatible with mathematical practice. We will see an example of this in the Questiones mathematice of Raoul le Breton. We will also examine in some texts of medieval mathematicians what is their actual practice of operations on numbers.
