Envisioning Transformations—The Practice of Topologybeen recently more and more concerned with the practice of mathematics, there is still a need for a sharp definition of what the target of a philosophy of mathematical practice should be. Three possible objects of inquiry are put forward: (1) the collective dimension of the practice of mathematics;

Did the style of the seminar merely reflect the eccentric personality of its leader, or did it indicate some broader cultural patterns? Did the seminar thrive despite its offensive style, or was the style part of the enigma? How do
