Abstract
Three decades after their contemporary rediscovery, abstraction principles continue to be at the center of one of the most active areas of research in philosophy of mathematics. The present special issue bears witness to this fact. It collects some of the work presented at two events held in 2014. The first was the workshop ‘Abstractionism / Neologicism’ organized by Marcus Rossberg at the University of Connecticut (April 26–27). The second was the summer school and workshop ‘Abstraction: Philosophy and Mathematics’ organized by Øystein Linnebo and me at the University of Oslo (May 22–24). The events were generously supported by the host universities. Additional funding for the summer school was provided by Kansas State University. Given the thematic and temporal closeness of the two events, it felt natural to give all speakers an opportunity to publish their work side by side. We are very grateful to Philosophia Mathematica for accepting the proposal of a special issue and for providing double-blind peer review for the submissions.
