How can or should the recent developments in mathematics influence the philosophy of mathematics?
Hans-Christian Reichel
pp. 259-268
Mathematics and philosophy not only have common roots, they have also continually influenced each other and shared close connections for at least 2500 years. Over and over, at decisive moments in the history of philosophy, mathematical insights and results served as guideposts for the development of philosophy. One need think only of Plato, of Pascal, of Descartes, of Wittgenstein!(See e.g. [30]).
