The topic of this conference was explanation in mathematics and ethics, specifically:

(i) the connections between indispensability-type arguments in mathematics and ethics;

(ii) connections between evolutionary debunking-style arguments in maths and ethics, and

(iii) more generally, other connections between the two areas that touch the issue of explanation.
