What is mathematical formalism?

I consider mself a logicist, but not to an exagerated extend. logicists believe that mathematics can not only be reduced and explaine din terms of a logical language, but that it is in full concordance with logic itself. I don't. I believe that maths can be reduced and explained by logic, but not that both re in full concordance. Please see my thread "Mathematics and Logic"
