Re: http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2009-May/013769.html C.S. Peirce provided a framework for thinking about belief and knowledge in mathematics, more generally about the process of inquiry that "fixes belief" in science and even in ordinary common sense reasoning. He did this in a way that largely avoids the errors of "psychologism" -- that Frege even more pointedly criticized -- specifically, the tendency to confuse a normative science like logic with a corresponding descriptive science like psychology.
