A t the centre was a clash between Hilbert and Brouwer over the law of exclu ded middle—a dispute that turned political in the wake of WW I. It ended w ith Hilbert expelling Brouwer from the Mathematische Annalen\, prompting h igh-profile resignations\, including Einstein’s. While the episode had pol itical dimensions\, it also reveals a form of epistemic injustice that is logical in nature. Drawing on my recent work in logic\, I’ll offer a fresh analysis of the logical injustice at the heart of the coup that ultimatel y ended Brouwer’s career.\n\n \n\n \n DTSTART:20250912T193000Z DTEND:20250912T210000Z LOCATION:Room 927\, Leacock Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2T7\, 855 r ue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Patrick Girard (U Auckland): 'The Frog and Mouse Battle: Logic\, Po litics and Justice' URL:/channels/channels/event/patrick-girard-u-auckland -frog-and-mouse-battle-logic-politics-and-justice-367473 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
