Mathematical Platonism is a philosophical view that suggests mathematical entities, like numbers and shapes, exist independently of human thought. According to this perspective, these abstract objects are discovered rather than invented, similar to how physical objects exist in the world. Proponents of Mathematical Platonism argue that mathematical truths are objective and universal, meaning they hold true regardless of individual beliefs or cultures. This view contrasts with other philosophies, such as mathematical nominalism, which deny the independent existence of mathematical objects and suggest that they are merely useful fictions created by humans.
