Explanation and Understanding within Mathematics Guest Editor: Joachim Frans</p>

<p>Philosophers of mathematics, certainly in the last decades, have tried to understand</p>

<p>and evaluate the idea that mathematicians can be interested in more than the</p>

<p>justification of mathematical results. Mathematicians can be interested, among other</p>

<p>things, in explaining or understanding mathematical results. A small yet growing body of</p>

<p>literature deals with analyzing what it could mean that something in mathematics has</p>

<p>explanatory value, for example by looking at the notion of explanatory proof. Others</p>

<p>have proposed to explicate the notion of mathematical understanding. Following recent</p>

<p>trends in the philosophy of science, it can also be fruitful to investigate explanation and</p>

<p>understanding more intimately. The objective of this issue is to continue these recent</p>

<p>traditions by bringing together new philosophical insights into the nature of explanation</p>

<p>and understanding within mathematics.</p>

<p>We invite contributions that deal with topics such as:</p>

<p>&bull; The explanatory value of mathematical proofs</p>

<p>&bull; Mathematical explanation beyond proof</p>

<p>&bull; Mathematical understanding</p>

<p>&bull; The relation between mathematical explanation and understanding</p>

<p>&bull; The relation between explanation/understanding and other mathematical values</p>

<p>(e.g., simplicity, beauty, depth)</p>

<p>&bull; Case studies from the practice or history of mathematics</p>

<p>&bull; The fruitfulness of accounts of scientific explanation/understanding in philosophy of</p>

<p>mathematics</p>

<p>The deadline for submission is June 15th 2020. A standard refereeing process will</p>

<p>apply.</p>

<p>Papers should be submitted via the Axiomathes editorial manager</p>

<p>at https://www.editorialmanager.com/axio</p>

<p>When preparing your paper, please read the journal&rsquo;s &lsquo;Instructions for authors&rsquo;</p>
