Mathematics without apologies: portrait of a problematic vocation

Introduction : the veil

How I acquired charisma

Not merely good, true, and beautiful

Megaloprepeia

An automorphic reading of Thomas Pynchon's Against the day (interrupted by elliptical reflections on Mason & Dixon)

Further investigations of the mind-body problem

The habit of clinging to an ultimate ground

The science of tricks

A mathematical dream and its interpretation

No apologies

Afterword : The veil of Maya.
