Summary
Mathematicians have discussed the morality of mathematics, with Kant's philosophical thought having a profound impact on his reflections on mathematics and mathematical practice (Martin 1985; Moretto 2015). Ethics in mathematics is an emerging field of applied ethics, which deals with the professional responsibilities of mathematicians whose work influences decisions with major consequences (Moretto 2015). Assumptions made in mathematical approaches can have real consequences, and structures can set up perverse incentives, leading to injustices (Moretto 2015).
