Which is better, idealistic mathematics or constructive mathematics?
This is a philosophical question. It's impacts are practical, and should be considered.
Occam's razor is a philosophical guide to science because it keeps on working, and clears up impractical theoretical clutter.
Restricting Philosophy to the practical is one extreme -- removing consideration of the practical from the realm of Philsophical thought is another. There are points in between these extreme positions.
