Coincidentally (I'm guessing that's "incidentally" with the arrows reversed),
someone asked the question, "How platonistic is your attitude towards mathematics?" --

http://mathoverflow.net/questions/4733/how-platonistic-is-your-attitude-towards-mathematics

This was occasioned by an interview with Yuri Manin that was discussed at length
in the n-Category Cafe blog --

Sadly, that isn't the kind of question the MOF moderators are prepared to tolerate.
