Document Details : Title: Hilbert on Anschauung Subtitle: A Comparative Analysis of the 1890s and 1920s Author(s): ROHR, Tabea Journal: Logique et Analyse Volume: 266 Date: 2024-2025 Pages: 155-173 DOI: 10.2143/LEA.266.0.3294835 Abstract : In this paper, we analyze the role that Hilbert attributes to Anschauung, empirical knowledge, and logical thinking in mathematics in texts from the 1890s and the 1920s. We observe that Hilbert’s position changed several times, and we attempt to explain these changes. In disagreement with Leo Corry, we argue that Hilbert did not adopt a simple empiricist theory of mathematical knowledge in the 1920s. |
