John Stuart Mill—Radical Empiricist. Held that mathematics is constructed through experience.
Philip Kitcher—Takes Mills view forward by showing how higher mathematics is related to experience. Also that mathematics is born out of IDEALISATION. Therefore a radically different mathematics can come through a radically different idealisation that ours. This is similar to Weber's view of ideal constructs in sociology.
