In questo articolo si sostiene che in futuro la matematica si svilupperà lungo linee sostanzialmente differenti da quelle secondo cui si è sviluppata a partire dalla seconda metà dell'Ottocento. Questo richiederà un cambiamento nella filosofia della matematica che è stata alla base di tale sviluppo. Perciò nell'articolo si propone una filosofia della matematica alternativa.

In this paper it is claimed that in the future mathematics will develop along lines essentially different from those in which it has developed since the second half of the nineteenth century. This will require a change in the philosophy of mathematics on which such development has been based. Therefore in the paper an alternative philosophy of mathematics is outlined.
