| Aug 10, 2019 at 22:16 | comment | added | user44143 | Here is GoogleTranslate on the relevant part of ThiKu’s link: He [Siegel] preferred every constructive proof to others, perhaps much simpler arguments. He also considered all developments in mathematics destructive if they had not been forced by a constructive continuation. The worst enemy was Bourbaki. When I introduced myself in Göttingen in 1958, I expressed (as a precaution) some criticism of Bourbaki. Years later, Siegel once walked through the Göttinger Wald with Frau Reidemeister. After a long silence he said quite unexpectedly: "And Grauert is a Bourbakist after all.” | |
| Aug 10, 2019 at 20:49 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | Armand Borel reminisced: "I was rather put off by the very dry style [of Bourbaki], without any concession to the reader, the apparent striving for the utmost generality, the inflexible system of internal references and the total absence of outside ones. For many, this style of exposition represented an alarming tendency in mathematics, towards generality for its own sake, away from specific problems. Among those critics was H. Weyl, whose opinion I knew indirectly through his old friend and former colleague M. Plancherel." | |
| Aug 10, 2019 at 20:25 | comment | added | ThiKu | Carl Ludwig Siegel was known to be a vehement adversary of Bourbaki, though I‘m not aware of written accounts (except Grauert‘s funny note at degruyter.com/downloadpdf/j/dmvm.1995.3.issue-1/dmvm-1995-0122/…) and there certainly does not exist an elaborated philosophical criticism from his part. | |
