Return to Question

I am a bit scared about writing this question because I am unsure if it is appropriate. However, here it is.

Is there anything written about the history of mathematics from a comparative or (post)structuralist point of view? In particular, are there studies of the interplay between mathematics and philosophy? For example, something that immediately comes to mind is:

• the influence of Leibniz's/Newton's idealistic philosophy on early calculus;
• the influence of materialism on German/French analytical schools of the 19th century;
• the influence of (post)structuralism on Grothendieck's philosophy of geometry.

There should be, of course, many more such parallels, but I am expert enough neither in mathematics nor philosophy to formulate them.
