Hi /lit/, math student here. I'm graduating soon and have for some time been haunted by the feeling that mathematics is just a symbol-game. A very pretty symbol-game, but not something that is meaningful in the way that I thought -- in the same way words aren't the objects they represent, if that makes any sense. I thought there was some ultimate truth to be found in it but that seems like a naive idea now.

What's some good entry-level philosophy on this topic?

>Math is manmade, probably the furthest thing from truth.
okay i get it math is just a system and we're lucky that it works as well for us as it does but thats not to say it doesn't do very good things for us. now how is it so far from the truth? what kind of things are closer to the truth? Religion? Literature?
