Numerical cognition and philosophy of mathematics. Dehaene’s (neuro)intuitionism and the relevance of language

  • Mario Graziano

Abstract

Can investigations carried out in the field of cognitive science about numerical cognition shed light on the issues traditionally raised by philosophers of mathematics? What kind of relation exists between the current neuroscientific research and the philosophical reflection on mathematics? This paper critically explores the answers to these questions provided by the French neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene, identifying the framework of a possible future collaboration between these disciplines
