Stephen Mackereth

Stephen Mackereth is a Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Notre Dame, affiliated with the Department of Philosophy. Previously a member of the Dartmouth Society of Fellows, he received his PhD from the University of Pittsburgh in 2024. He works on logic, philosophy of mathematics, and the history of analytic philosophy. He has written about neo-Fregean logicism, Gödel's Dialecticatranslation, and theories of truth. His research interests stem from an effort to understand the great foundational debate in mathematics between logicists and constructivists at the turn of the twentieth century, as well as the effects of this debate on the subsequent development of analytic philosophy. He enjoys thinking about logical and semantic paradoxes; about the concepts of proof, truth, computation, and definition; and about the nature and significance of foundations in mathematics.
