- catalog abstract ""In the 1920s, a debate unfolded which was unique in the history of mathematics. This debate was provoked by a new current in the foundations of mathematics: intuitionism, which was developed by the Dutch mathematician L.E.J. Brouwer." "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.".
