They are pegs to hang ideas on, and nothing else. To a certain extent this is even true for Int, who represents the position of intuitionism. For the sake of clearness I made him speak sometimes in a somewhat more absolute way than I should have done if I had freely expressed my own opinions. The discussion in strictly limited to intuitionism; other conceptions of mathematics are touched on only in so far as they lead to objections against intuitionism. I reject any reproach for incomplete exposition of other points of view. It was necessary to give proofs in great detail, even where they differ only by small additions from the well-known classical ones. There was no other way to indicate in which places these additions had to be made. In the course of the book, as the reader is supposed to develop a feeling for the specifically intuitionistic difficulties, I have gradually adopted a more condensed style.
