Abstract

top
In this paper it is claimed that in the future mathematics will develop along lines essentially different from those in which it has developed since the second half of the nineteenth century. This will require a change in the philosophy of mathematics on which such development has been based. Therefore in the paper an alternative philosophy of mathematics is outlined.
