>That mathematics is the universal language because it is both syntax and semantics
What do you make of Oswald Spengler's (and possibly some others') claim about the different conceptualization of mathematics throughout history and cultures.

Before you dismiss it out of hand as some postmodern, liberal, marxists, relativism, I would like to remind you that this piece of work is highly influential among right-wingers, most notably the Nazis. It would be slightly more appropriate if you immediately dismiss him as being one of those people such as the Nazis who reject Jewish physics, but I'd like to see your take on some of his claims.
