This book challenges the views put forward by Pierre Cartier, one of the anchors of the famous Bourbaki group, and Cédric Villani, one of the most brilliant mathematicians of his generation, who received the Fields Medal in 2010. Jean Dhombres, mathematician and science historian, and Gerhard Heinzmann, philosopher of science and also a specialist in mathematics engage in a fruitful dialogue with the two mathematicians, prompting readers to reflect on mathematical activity and its social consequences in history as well as in the modern world. Cédric Villani’s popular success proves once again that a common awareness has developed, albeit in a very confused way, of the major role of mathematics in the construction and efficiency of natural sciences, which are at the origin of our technologies. Despite this, the idea that mathematics cannot be shared remains firmly entrenched, a perceived failing that has even been branded a lack of culture by vocal forces in the media as well as cultural and political establishment. The authors explore three major directions in their dialogue: the highly complex relationship between mathematics and reality, the subject of many debates and opposing viewpoints; the freedom that the construction of mathematics has given humankind by enabling them to develop the natural sciences as well as mathematical research; and the responsibility with which the scientific community and governments should address the role of mathematics in research and education policies.

Mathematical Philosophy -- A Study of Fate and FreedomMathematics is not what many people think it is - it is not a system of mere formulas and theorems. Mathematics is the science of "exact thought or rigorous thinking," and one of its distinctive characteristics is "precision, sharpness, completeness of definitions." This quality alone is sufficient to explain why people generally do not like mathematics and why even some scientists bluntly refuse to have anything to do with problems wherein mathematical reasoning is involved. In the meantime, mathematical philosophy has very little, if anything, to do with mere calculations or with numbers as such or with formulas; it is a philosophy wherein precise, sharp and rigorous thinking is essential. Those who deliberately refuse to think "rigorously"--that is mathematically--in connections where such thinking is possible, commit the sin of preferring the worse to the better; they deliberately violate the supreme law of intellectual rectitude. For years Keyser meditated upon the nature of mathematics, upon its significance in thought, and upon its bearings on human life. In the following course of lectures he endeavored to present, in the language of educated men and women, some of the maturer fruits of that study.Though the course is designed primarily for students whose major interest is in philosophy, Keyser ventured to hope that a much wider circle of readers and scholars might enjoy the lectures. To all the professional mathematicians, the teachers of mathematics, natural science students, literary critics, sociologists and the rapidly increasing class of engineers who desire to come into touch with the universal spirit of the science that Plato called divine.In 1922, when Mathematical Philosophy was originally published, Dr. Cassius J. Keyser was Adrain Professor Mathematics at Columbia University, New York.

Excerpt from Mathematical Philosophy a Study of Fate and Freedom, Lectures for Educated Laymen For more than two score years I have meditated upon the nature of Mathematics, upon its significance in Thought, and upon its bearings on human Life. In the following course of lectures I have endeavored to present, in the language current among educated men and women, some of the maturer fruits of that study. Though the course is designed primarily for students whose major interest is in Philosophy, I venture to hope that the lectures may not be ungrateful to a much wider circle of readers and scholars: To the growing class of such professional mathematicians as are not without interest in the philosophical aspects of their science. To the growing class of such teachers of mathematics as endeavor to make the spirit of their subject dominate its technique. To the growing class of those natural-science students who are interested in the logical structure and the distinctive method of mathematics regarded not only as a powerful instrument for natural science but also and especially as the prototype which every branch of science approximates in proportion as its basal assumptions and concepts become clearly defined. To the innumerous but precious tribe of those literary critics who know that the art of Criticism owes its first allegiance to the eternal laws of thought.
