Re: Math: Did we discover or create it?
there's a pleasant book on this question - Conversations on Mind, Matter, and Mathematics - by a French mathamatician, Connes, and Changeux, a French neurobiologist. Connes argues the Platonic side, mathematics exists independantly of human mind, and Changeux, that it is a human invention.
No one wins the debate, but i have moved closer to thinking of mathematics as a human invention. Without a logical mind of some form existing, it is difficult to see any mathematics.
