Abstract:

It is a commonplace in recent metaphysics that one's logical commitments go hand in hand with one's metaphysics. Brouwer, Heyting and Dummett have each championed the move to constructive (intuitionistic) reasoning on the grounds of anti-realism. I hope to break this close connection, to explain why a realist ought to reason constructively. 1
