Towards a new epistemology of mathematics
Bernd Buldt, Benedikt Löwe, Thomas Müller

Abstract:
In this introduction we discuss the motivation behind the workshop
``Towards a New Epistemology of Mathematics'' of which this special
issue constitutes the proceedings. We elaborate on historical and
empirical aspects of the desired new epistemology, connect it to the
public image of mathematics, and give a summary and an introduction to
the contributions to this issue.
