WHAT DOES INTUITIONISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Intuitionism

In the philosophy of mathematics, intuitionism, or neointuitionism, is an approach where mathematics is considered to be purely the result of the constructive mental activity of humans. That is, given a set of axioms, the only propositions that can exist are those that can be constructed, directly or indirectly, by these axioms. In other words, for any proposition only a constructive proof may be used to examine its validity. Proofs by contradiction and proofs by induction are rejected.

Definition of intuitionism in the English dictionary

The first definition of intuitionism in the dictionary is the doctrine that there are moral truths discoverable by intuition. Other definition of intuitionism is the doctrine that logical axioms rest on prior intuitions concerning time, negation, and provability. Intuitionism is also the theory that mathematics cannot intelligibly comprehend the properties of infinite sets, and that only what can be shown to be provable can be justifiably asserted.
