Some interesting entries I know about:

* Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics Into Being by George Lakoff and Rafael Nunez

* The Mathematician's Mind by Jacques Hadamard

* Mathematics Form and Function by Saunders MacLane

* On the Brink of Paradox: Highlights from the Intersection of Philosophy and Mathematics by Agustin Rayo

The preface and chapter 1 of A Book of Abstract Algebra by Charles C. Pinter has an excellent discussion of a certain perspective of mathematics. Hermann Weyl wrote a lot about this stuff too.
