    There is no reason why we can't analyse mathematics and create philosophies; technically, because Aristotle said to do it, doesn't mean you do.Varde

    Aristotle was not analyzing math.

    I know Aristotle. He never called himself a mathematician.
    Unless you want to say he was a biologist, physicist, literary critic, historian, philosopher, logician, cosmologist, political scientist, ethicist, philosopher of art.

    Math is per se, the war of worlds. Persona Vs persona. Except there are many personas. Shapes for example. Man Persona Vs Shape persona equates ideas such as Pythagoras and length width depth height maxth boxth etc.

    In any case it doesn't belong more with philosophy as a field. This is what we're discussing... Perhaps logic is for philosophers, more...

    Hmm... I'm having second thoughts but it wasn't you trust me.

    Edit: it's about equal. Both philosophical and mathematical.

    You need to know the parts to a car and it's plan(math), before you can build it and make it move(philosophy, when thought of).
