The pernicious influence of mathematics upon philosophy
pp. 89-103

Are mathematical ideas invented or discovered? This question has been repeatedly posed by philosophers through the ages and will probably be with us forever. We will not be concerned with the answer. What matters is that by asking the question, we acknowledge that mathematics has been leading a double life.
