In answer to Eric and lrudolph, the answer I'm looking for is not related to epistemology. It is related to the domains to which mathematical thinking is successfully applied, where successfully means something like produces "interesting' theorems. (Please don't quibble with me about what *interesting *mean -- at least not in this thread. I expect that *interesting *can be defined so that we will be comfortable with the definition.) What is it about those domains that enables that.
