Significs and mathematics: creative and other subjects

Although Victoria Lady Welby did not write that much explicitly about mathematics, what she did write shows a very strong connection with Gerrit Mannoury's ideas about mathematics and mathematicians. These views, however, underwent dramatic changes in the hands of L.E.J. Brouwer. We claim that today traces of Welby's and Mannoury's legacy are to be found in studies on mathematical practice through the semiotically inspired work of Paul Ernest and Brian Rotman.
