There is a new journal about philosophy of mathematics: Annals of Mathematics and Philosophy. So I want to advertise it in case you're interested by the subject and if you didn't notice. The first issue is available in open access here: Volume 1, number 1, 2023. Every single paper looks passionating, I think I'm going to read all of them! For example, three of them are titled "What makes mathematicians believe unproved mathematical statements?" by Timothy Gowers, a paper "Ways of thinking in mathematics" (Javier de Lorenzo), "What is axiomatics?" (Paolo Cantù). There is an interview of Penrose also and the other ones are attracting to me too.

I read “Mathematics and Cognition” (Manin) and “Towards Mathematical Criticism” (Zalamea), both of which I enjoyed.
Zalamea references de Lorenzo as a pioneer of mathematical criticism. It also got me to double down on reading Lautman, who is another critical pioneer mentioned in the paper.
