Alumni Testimonials

“I am currently pursuing my PhD at the Henri Poincaré Archives (University of Lorraine), where I work on questions combining history and philosophy of mathematics. I am particularly interested in the structuring of the mathematical community and mathematical language, exploring how the social organization of mathematicians influenced the development of mathematics in France, under the Third Republic and during the Vichy regime.

I owe this pluridisciplinary research orientation largely to the Logos master’s program. Its cross-disciplinary dimension allowed me to strengthen my knowledge in mathematics, linguistics, and philosophy, three essential fields for my current research.

The courses in this master’s program are of excellent quality, and sharing classes with students from other master’s programs opens the door to varied and always enriching exchanges.”

“I joined the second-year of the Logos master after studying math and linguistics. I already knew that I wanted to become a researcher in cognitive science, to study human thought and reasoning at a symbolic level. After that, I was lucky to be admitted in the 5-year PhD program in cognitive science at École normale supérieure (Paris), which I am currently following.

Even knowing where I was headed, the Logos master was a great opportunity to broaden my horizons. Thanks to the coursework, I familiarized myself with and deepened my knowledge in various fields: epistemology, philosophy of language, logic, natural-language and programming-language semantics. In research, the master encourages original, interdisciplinary ideas: the heads of the program made it very clear through semi-regular presentations on their own work. I was even able to design my own internship/thesis topic, which aimed at formalizing existing work in linguistics thanks to general topology.

The master makes for a very stimulating environment, surrounded by fellow students and researchers with diverse backgrounds and interests. You can easily follow seminars on campus or at Collège de France on your free time, and have great chats with curious, thoughtful peers from Logos and other masters.”

“I joined the Logos master’s program after studying mathematics and alongside studies in the history of philosophy. I am currently preparing for the agrégation competitive examination in philosophy, and I wish to continue my research within the framework of a PhD in philosophy of logic and mathematics.

The richness and great diversity of the courses offered allowed me, from the first year of training, to broaden my skills in various fields – foundations of mathematics, analytic philosophy, linguistics, programming. Due to its inherently interdisciplinary nature, this master’s program offers in the second year the possibility of developing original and personal research work at the intersection of various fields of analysis.

Alongside the courses, various reading groups and seminar series are organized, which allow students to learn about research and exchange with researchers as well as with students from diverse backgrounds.”
