How Much Change is Too Much Change? Rethinking the Reasons Behind the Lack of Reception to Brouwer’s Intuitionism.
In: UNSPECIFIED.
Abstract
The paper analyzes Brouwer’s intuitionistic attempt to reform mathematics through the prism of Leo Corry’s philosophical model of “body” and “image” of knowledge. Such an analysis sheds new light on the question of whether Brouwer’s intuitionism could at all be attractive to broader groups of mathematicians. It focuses on three characteristics that are unique to Bouwer’s reformation attempt and suggests that when considered together, they combine to provide a more complex understanding of the reasons behind the lack of reception to Brouwer’s intuitionism than any of the three can offer alone.
