Can anyone direct me to specific resources (including sections and page
numbers, if available) where intuitionists discuss their philosophical
views "that the unique source of mathematics is the intuition, and the
criterion of acceptability of mathematical concepts, constructions, and
inferences is intuitive clarity"? (The quote is from N. A. Shanin,
*Constructive Real Numbers and Function Spaces*, Amer. Math. Soc.
Transl. of Math'l. Monographs, Vol. 21 (1968), p. 7, section "0.3".)
