Here is a 50-minute TV episode from 1984 on mathematics generally: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUDQ3ypFhew

I enjoyed it, but I'm a Platonist, so there is some selection bias involved.

I'm not a Platonist but I am a Realist, i.e. I think mathematical objects are as real as, say, cars (though not physical like cars). I'm also a mathematician.

Here is a great book on a phenomenological approach to mathematical realism:

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be reading it soon.

I only recently exposed myself to Husserl, but I am a fan (at least a fan of his writings that are comprehensible!). His anti-psychologism is an especially helpful insight, especially considering our contemporary age of neuromania.
