Abstract

I look at Gödel’s relation to Brouwer and show that, besides deep disagreements, there are also deep agreements between their philosophical ideas. This text was originally written in French and published in a special issue on logic of Pour la Science, the French edition of Scientific American. This accounts for its introductory character and the absence of references and footnotes. The translation and slight revision are my own.
