This text provides a presentation of general philosophical approaches, more technical foundational discussions, questions related to the application of mathematics, and historical analyses. It presents recent and innovative trends in the philosophy of mathematics, which have been developed subsequent to the decline of the traditional approaches (formalism, logicism, intuitionism) in their classical forms. Structuralism and constructivism also receive attention.
