I would go with "Proofs and Refutations: The Logic of Mathematical" by Lakatos, its a dialog-form history of defining Euler's formula and it shows the human side of mathematics as a science. I think its great as math has this

How about taking sides instead of acting like a kid believing the existence of gray negates the existence of white and black. Perspectivism is the beginning of inquiry, not the end of it. Stop being a tool of your own social superstitions.

My issue is that I rarely meet people who would answer my questions in a satisfying way. Usually I have to ask question after question for a frustrating amount of time to understand something and not leave the topic with "yea it is cle

Growth and prospect are anthropocentric values. The same goes for the point of life. Evolution does not have a point. And extending the meaning of the word "God" just to claim that everyone has their own God is just making words m

Slightly off topic but there is an interesting argument to be made against the existence of 'Uncanny Valley' – https://youtu.be/LKJBND_IRdI .

I find such willingness very helpful in many meetings with difficult vocabulary. Instead of nodding to sentences which make no sense to me I like to take the risk and admit that I have no clue what is going on. More often than not I'm

I mean philosophy, metaphysics and philosophy of mathematics have over 2k years of history and the only example of the influence that I know it had was that ancient Greeks didn't want to use 0 in accordance with the rule that being is

"This is an incredibly parochial point of view.", why? I don't really see how what you said and what I said connect.

Could you give me an example of meaningful insight of what math is that relies on such ontological discussions? Since my issue is not with ontological debates as such but rather ontological questions formulated in a manner which is impossib

"One's philosophical / metaphysical worldview determines how one views reality." I fully agree but I fail to see how it is true in the case of ontology of mathematics. All ontological frameworks will have to explain the

I'm getting quite frustrated with this kind of ontological debate. Exist or not exist, why does it matter? On top of that are so many subtle distinctions that the statement "There are mathematical objects." might or might not

I'm also a self-taught programmer and I'm from Poland. I think it might be harder to get your first job without a degree in europe but it's definitely possible. There is one more difference that I think is relevant to this –

I think it makes a big difference if you have a twitter account or not. Without one navigating through the thread is much harder, on the edge of being a dark pattern, and you can't use unrolling bots.

Deleuze's books on history of philosophy are interesting and approachable. Although they are more about his own philosophy over people he write about they're still very valuable. Deleuze gets bad reputation for his other writings

I'm suggesting talking with the doctor about it to check if it might be the case. Why do you treat OP like they're incapable of self-responsibility so that I must protect them?

I really recommend reading Kierkegaard along with Nietzsche, they miraculously contradict and agree in pretty much everything.
