Towards a New Epistemology of Mathematics
Bernd Buldt, Benedikt Löwe, Thomas Müller · Erkenntnis · 2008
In this introduction we discuss the motivation behind the workshop “Towards a New Epistemology of Mathematics” of which this special issue constitutes the proceedings. We elaborate on historical and empirical aspects of the desired new epistemology, connect it to the public image of mathematics, and give a summary and an introduction to the contributions to this issue.
