Intuitionism
Summary
Intuitionism is the view, founded by L. E. J. Brouwer, that mathematics is a construction of the human mind. A mathematical object exists only when it can be constructed, and a statement is true only when it has a proof. As a result, intuitionists do not accept the law of excluded middle in general. Its logic, intuitionistic logic, is a central example of constructivism.
