Book Chapter
Math and Modernity: Critical Reflections
2022
Overview
Besides the birth of new revolutionary concepts and methods, and of new areas of research, mathematicians, logicians, and philosophers have put into question the foundations of the discipline itself and the whole meaning of \"mathematical truth.\" Before then, at the end of the eighteenth century, mathematics was mainly concerned with explaining the \"real world\" and its laws. At the beginning of the \"modern era\" things started to change, sometimes slowly, other times abruptly. Abstract mathematics was no longer intimately related to the real world and its description. This abstract approach, both on research and on mathematical education, generated critical reactions in the mathematical community, and some \"modern\" ideas were rejected or neglected after several decades of experimentation.
