Formalism has the same flavor as subjectivism. Many formalists are only formalists with respect to some parts of math. This includes most working mathematicians, insofar as they hold formalist premises. For example, Hilbert held<ref>Brown, James R. ''Philosophy of Mathematics: An Introduction..." Tag: Visual edit

However, few if any mathematicians adhere consistently to any of those three philosophies. Platonism dates back to Plato and Socrates. The term "Platonism" is also sometimes used to refer to the philosophy of Plato generally." Tag: Visual edit

Lines are one of the central concepts of classical geometry.
