What is the most predominant philosophical attitude toward mathematics among mathematicians?
I am talking about things like mathematical platonism, formalism, logicism etc.
In some circumstances I feel that I am a platonist (e.g when thinking about pi) in others logicist or formalist etc. Does one have to be one or other?
Thx in advance.
