Abstract

The Dutch mathematician and philosopher L.E.J. Brouwer is well known for his ground-breaking work in topology and his iconoclastic philosophy of mathematics, intuitionism. What is far less well known is that Brouwer mused on the philosophy of the natural sciences as well. Later in life he also taught courses in physics at the University of Amsterdam
