On the Brouwerian Concept of Negative Continuity

Abstract

In the present paper, we will discuss some of the known reconstructions of Brouwer’s theorem of negative continuity and contend that the theory of the creative subject is the proper frame in which to understand Brouwer’s argument. We will also point out a sense in which negative continuity is a cogent consequence of the general intuitionistic tenets while positive continuity is not.
