Intuitionism


Listen Later

In this podcast episode, we explore the fascinating world of intuitionism, a philosophy within mathematics that emphasizes the role of intuition and mental constructs in understanding complex concepts. We discuss the importance of truth and proof, the concept of infinity, set theory, and the positions held by prominent mathematicians in the early twentieth century. We also delve into the work of L.E.J. Brouwer, who explored the concept of defining functions and the limitations that exist within this process. source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuitionism
