A chapter in Handbook of the History and Philosophy of Mathematical Practice, 2024, pp 1297-1306 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In these notes, my personal reflections on practice and working philosophy of mathematics are discussed. Some of the reviewed issues definitely have a philosophical sense, or at least flavor. The generality of some of them is suited to similar observations of recognized specialists open-handedly quoted.
