Lautman, mathematical critic

Fernando Zalamea

Lautman, mathematical critic

Abstract

We offer a new perspective on Lautman's work, envisioning him as a "mathematical critic" rather than a so-called "philosopher of mathematics". We propose a distinction between Philosophy and Criticism, and, building on a study of Lautman's sources and mathematical studies, we situate the main bulk of his work in the realm of Mathematical Criticism.
