Philosophie der Mathematik

"Philosophy of mathematics" explores the fundamental questions about mathematics: what it is, how it works, and its relationship to reality and human knowledge. It examines whether mathematical objects exist independently of us, how we come to understand mathematical truths, and whether math is invented or discovered. This discipline seeks to clarify the nature, scope, and certainty of mathematical ideas, bridging logic, metaphysics, and epistemology to understand how mathematics relates to the physical world and to human cognition.
