[FOM] Post on Creativity vs. Hadamard on Invention

[William.Piper@colorado.edu]

Hello fellow FoMers, 
   I am interested in a discussion about some essential differences between 
Post's interpretation of the Incompleteness phenomena as evidence that 
mathematics is essentially a creative endeavor and Hadamard's Psychology of 
Invention. 
   I looked up both in the FoM archive and both turned up, but very little 
discussion seemed to be generated. Given Martin Davis' post on August 29 (Vol 
8, Issue 22) and the current debate between formalism and platonism, it seems 
appropriate to reintroduce the intuitionist view and how it relates to Post and

Hadamard. 
   Do I have any takers?

Thanks, 
Everett
