The article comments on the foregoing article by Christophe Sigwart on concepts of number and compares Sigwart's text to the "intuitionistic" mathematical work developed by Dutch logician and philosopher L. E. J. Brouwer. The two men's positions are compared on such concepts as the intersubjective validity of mathematics, inner time consciousness, and infinite numbers.
