Do they? While I don’t doubt this, I’ve never run into one. Most that I have run into don’t spend much, or any, time talking metaphysics. Or do you mean in an implicit sense?
I know many. I bet if you took a poll of professional mathematicians, the reality of platonic forms would win by a landslide. Check out this page from Roger Penrose's "The Road to Reality" that someone tweeted to me yesterday.pic.twitter.com/CCwkGuqOaL
