| As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain;
| and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.  It seems to
| me that complete clearness as to this state of things first became common
| property through that new departure in mathematics which is known by the
| name of mathematical logic or "Axiomatics".  The progress achieved by
| axiomatics consists in its having neatly separated the logical-formal
| from its objective or intuitive content.
