A liberal translation from the original in French quoted below is:
- Without Mathematics one cannot understand the fundamentals of Philosophy.
- Without Philosophy we cannot reach the Foundation of Mathematics.
- Without both (Mathematics and Philosophy) one cannot reach anything that is fundamental.
- ``Sans les mathématiques on ne pénétre point au fond de la philosophie.
- Sans la philosophie on ne pénétre point au fond des mathématiques.
- Sans les deux on ne pénétre au fond de rien.''
-by G. W. Leibniz-
- Timothy Gowers, ``Does mathematics need a philosophy?'' Plato vs. Formalism, Logicism,... and so on
