Summary
Oskar Becker: The Greatness and Limits of the Mathematical Way of Thinking
The author, through long-term careful study and study of relevant historical sources, thought-provoking questioning of the most challenging currents of older and newer mathematical theory, and in the end, through his own philosophical reflection, arrived at a kind of justification, even a certain apology for the principled limitlessness of mathematics, understood in the sense of an infinite process by intention of "mastering the whole a large area of phenomena using formulas characterized by symmetry properties".
