Eugenia Cheng [pictured here] thought long and hard about the, or at least a, relationship between mathematics and morality. She wrote up those thoughts and delivered them in a talk called “Mathematics, Morally” on 23rd January, 2004, at the Cambridge University Society for the Philosophy of Mathematics. Cheng writes:
The first thing to be clear about is that I’m not talking about human morality. I’m not talking about whether it’s immoral to do mathematics, I’m not talking about ethical dilemmas that apply to mathematicians,”oh no, what if this equation gets into the wrong hands”. This is not morality for mathematicians but morality for mathematics.
Cheng is now a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics, University of Sheffield.
