TITLE: Let's talk about *some* mathematics
ABSTRACT: By "some" mathematics I mean not mathematics according to one or another general definition but mathematics being done, now, over in the math department.  Or done at some other specific place, or historic time, by specified mathematicians.   Philosophers of mathematics can talk with each other about each other's ideas, and that's great.  There should be more of that than there is between various different philosophies of mathematics.  But the dialogue is likely to run longer and go deeper the more it draws on specific (relatively) uncontroversial productive mathematics as (potentially) common ground for discussion.
