This book gathers the proceedings of the conference "Cultures of Mathematics and Logic," held in Guangzhou, China. The event was the third in a series of interdisciplinary, international conferences emphasizing the cultural components of philosophy of mathematics and logic. It brought together researchers from many disciplines whose work sheds new light on the diversity of mathematical and logical cultures and practices. In this context, the cultural diversity can be diachronical (different cultures in different historical periods), geographical (different cultures in different regions), or sociological in nature.

papers that constitute part of a much-needed meta-discussion on the direction highlights Asian cultures of mathematics and logic (with papers on ancient Chinese and Indian texts) Philosophy of Mathematical Practice is a growing field, and the cultural angle is a particularly important aspect Gathers papers by leading authors in the field
