Quasi-empiricism in mathematics

<p>Quasi-empiricism in mathematics is the attempt in the <a href="/facts/Philosophy_of_mathematics/z7xBcdWA">philosophy of mathematics</a> to direct philosophers' attention to <a href="/facts/Mathematical_practice/wFICd4rc">mathematical practice</a>, in particular, relations with <a href="/facts/Physics/a7aH2y08">physics</a>, <a href="/facts/Social_science/hAbm1xtD">social sciences</a>, and <a href="/facts/Computational_mathematics/JRoX1lu0">computational mathematics</a>, rather than solely to issues in the <a href="/facts/Foundations_of_mathematics/yjpbbUkt">foundations of mathematics</a>. Of concern to this discussion are several topics: the relationship of <a href="/facts/Philosophy_of_mathematics/z7xBcdWA">empiricism</a> (see <a href="/facts/Penelope_Maddy/Bnv4S6f7">Penelope Maddy</a>) with <a href="/facts/Mathematics/pxTouaz4">mathematics</a>, issues related to <a href="/facts/Philosophy_of_mathematics/z7xBcdWA">realism</a>, the importance of <a href="/facts/Philosophy_of_mathematics/z7xBcdWA">culture</a>, necessity of <a href="/facts/Philosophy_of_mathematics/z7xBcdWA">application</a>, etc.
