In general he sided with Poincaré in his opposition to Russell's and Hilbert's ideas about the foundations of mathematics. He strongly disagreed with Poincaré however, in his opinion on mathematical existence. To Brouwer, mathematical existence did not mean freedom from contradiction, as Poincaré maintained, but intuitive constructibility."
