Who are the best or most interesting philosophers of mathematics?
I'm aware of the likes of Frege, Russell, Husserl and Brouwer. But I'd like to know more. Are there any essential texts one could recommend?

Hey /lit/. Let's say I wanted to attain a comprehensive understanding of contemporary analytical philosophy, but I was a clean slate, and had read no philosophy at all.

Where do I begin, and what route do I take to get to the present day? I feel like I would be missing some fundamental context if I began with Frege. I guess I need to read the Greeks, like everybody does, but some more specific advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
