Quote by Hans Reichenbach

We can... treat only the geometrical aspects of mathematics and shall be satisfied in having shown that there is no problem of the truth of geometrical axioms and that no special geometrical visualization exists in mathematics.

We can... treat only the geometrical aspects of mathematics

Summary

In other words, this quote suggests that mathematics is a discipline that extends beyond visual intuition and encompasses a broader range of conceptual and logical understanding.
