  The relationship between mathematics and religious thinking is complex: there exist connections and mutual influences. Most often mathematics is treated as a source of examples or patterns that can help theology. The idea of this conference is to focus primarily on the other direction: to review and stimulate research on theological aspects detectable in the background of mathematics. ‘Theological’ is meant in a broad sense, from rather direct links to existing religious denominations to general metaphysical views alluding to or touching upon the transcendent. Understood in this way, theological inspirations, motivations, points of reference seem to have been present in the genesis of certain mathematical concepts. Accord-ing to Abraham Seidenberg geometry and counting have origins in religious ritu-als. Among more recent well-known examples are: Cantor’s theory of infinite sets developed, or at least justified, by referring to scholastic theology, Brouwer’s intui-tionism formed with reference to mystical perceptions, topological developments in Russia in the early 20th century connected to ‘name worshipping,’ and, to some extent, Gödel’s work aiming at refutation of Positivism and affirming Leibniz’s monadology. Both the familiar and less known examples can be presented at the conference and analyses can be offered of the ways religious inspirations find their ways to mathematics. It is also possible to present approaches denying any essential role of theological ideas in the process of introduction and justification of mathematical concepts. The organizing committee includes Professor Stanisław Krajewski (Institute of Philosophy of the University of Warsaw) – chair, Fr. Professor Michał Heller (The Copernicus Center for Interdisciplinary Studies), Fr. Professor Janusz Mączka (The Copernicus Center for Interdisciplinary Studies), Julia Jankowska (Institute of Phi-losophy of the University of Warsaw) – secretary of the committee.
