Nice thread. For a brief period in grad school I was nerdsniped by Brouwer intuitionism and wanted to dive deep, but then realized it’s sort of a lifetime deep dive sorta thing.

L. E. J. Brouwer (in his 1908 opening salvo against David Hilbert's mathematical formalism and the Law of the Excluded Middle) is clearly channeling Schopenhauer

I know very little about it but there's something in there that keeps me coming back! Did you end up coming to any insights? Are you interested in the realism question?

Best known for the kronecker delta function and the line “god created the integers, all else is the work of man” You’ll probably like Chaitin’s book Mera-Math if you resonate with Brouwer
