Abstract: this article writes: "Which half of his brains did Bourbaki use ? My impression is, the left half. Perhaps I am projecting. The Bourbachistes were uncomfortable with the right-brain mathematics of the Italian geometers, and for good reason: significant portions were suspect and might, if one takes `true' and `false' to be left-brain notions and `right' and `wrong' to be right-brain ones, be justifiably described as right, but false.
