Gnomes in the Fog: The Reception of Brouwer's Intuitionism in the 1920s

Meer over het boek

"The book includes the precursors to and the development of intuitionism, as well as the foundational debate itself. After a general overview of the debate, the analysis centers on two main issues: the question of mathematical existence and the status of logic. Finally, the cultural context of the debate is taken into account."--Jacket.
