I'd recommend at least look at Kleene's work, Introduction to
Metamathematics, and a similar book he did for undergraduates - 
I found the exposition for the most part quite clean.

The debate today veers more towards conventionalism I think, but
the verdict's not in; most scientists proceed on the basis of a 
deep connection between mathematical structure and physical 
reality.
