I guess I’ll just add that I made the transition from mathematician to philosopher and, for what it’s worth, the things I learned to be a mathematician do prove useful in doing philosophy in that without mathematics I would not be able to think and write as precisely about ideas as I do. I’m not sure how much correlation there is between the two fields, though, beyond it being typical that people smart enough to do one are smart enough to do the other.
