Abstract
THE analysis of mathematics has given rise to important schools of philosophical thought in recent years. Progress has indeed been such that it is now almost impossible to discuss certain fundamental problems of knowledge without taking into account their results. The various phases of the epic controversies between them are highly technical: hence their interest for the mathematician as well as for the philosopher.
