The sole basis for "diagnosing" Hilbert with discalculia seems to be an anecdote about him forgetting what 7+5 was. Is it mentioned in respectable biographies? The choice of numbers is curious, 7+5=12 is Kant's example from Critique of Pure Reason illustrating how arithmetic is a priori synthesis in time. The example Hilbert knew well since his formalist programme is based on synthetic a priori for "arithmetic" of symbols philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/28154/… | |
