Mathematical Intuition
In relation to the first chapter of “Mathematical Intuition” by Richard Tiszen, we discussed some notions of Husserl’s phenomenology that pertain to the categorial intuition.
Derek So introduced us to some basic concepts of Husserl’s phenomenology. We focused on intentionality, synthetic and eidetic intuition. Then briefly discussed the different conceptions of intuition in more contemporary phenomenology.
