For an ambitious soul a place to start is Stephen Kleene's Introduction to Metamathematics, Chapter III A CRITIQUE OF MATHEMATICAL REASONING. He discusses §11. The paradoxes, §12. First inferences from the paradoxes [ impredicative definitions, Logicism etc], §13. Intuitionism, §14. Formalism, §15. Formalization of a theory. Kleene's writing is so impressive is because he takes the debate seriously, and throughout his book he actually builds the two "formal systems" (for example, on page 119 where he shows those logical laws such as double negation that are disallowed in the Intuitionist system). Kleene's writing on this is the only such writing I've been able to understand. Bill Wvbailey (talk) 15:41, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. A few days ago I posted an external link to the book Life, Art and Mysticism which Brouwer wrote at the age of 23. The link was then discarded as a spam link. It definitely is not spam and I believe this page wouldn't be complete without something about this book. I believe it has a big educational value in it. Elucidations of the book are included in the linkpage. I hope I will get some support on this. Greetings --Controle2 (talk) 10:29, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
