Popis: There is not, and cannot be number as such. There are several number-worlds, as there are several Cultures. We find an Indian, an Arabian, a Classical, a Western type of mathematical thought and, corresponding with each, an expression of a specific world-feeling … the soul of that particular Culture.—Oswald SpenglerMathematics as we know it is human mathematics, a product of the human mind. Where does mathematics come from? It comes from us!—George Lakoff and Rafael E. Nunez
