'''Quasi-empiricism in mathematics''' is the attempt in the [[philosophy of mathematics]] to direct philosophers' attention to [[mathematical practice]], in particular, relations with [[physics]], [[social science]]s, and [[computational mathematics]], rather than solely to issues in the [[foundations of mathematics]]. Of concern to this discussion are several topics: the relationship of [[Philosophy of mathematics#Empiricism|empiricism]] (see [[Penelope Maddy]]) with [[mathematics]], issues related to [[Philosophy of mathematics#Mathematical realism|realism]], the importance of [[Philosophy of mathematics#Social constructivism or social realism|culture]], necessity of [[Philosophy of mathematics#Constructivism|application]], etc.
