1. Intuitionism

   In the philosophy of mathematics, intuitionism, or neointuitionism (opposed to preintuitionism), is an approach where mathematics is considered to be purely the result of the constructive mental activity of humans rather than the discovery of fundamental principles claimed to exist in an objective reality. That is, logic and mathematics are not considered analytic activities wherein deep properties of objective reality are revealed and applied, but are instead considered the application of internally consistent methods used to realize more complex mental constructs, regardless of their possible independent existence in an objective reality.

1. intuitionism

   Intuitionism is a philosophical approach suggesting that the truth is achieved and understood not through objective observation of facts, but instead through some inward, instinctual or intuitive insight. It is often associated with mathematics and logic, where it involves a rejection of some of the traditional principles of logic, objectivity and reasoning, arguing that they are not always sufficient for guaranteeing the truth. Intuitionists believe certain truths are accessible only by direct insight or intuition, rather than by formal logic or empirical evidence.
