Abstract
In this first chapter I will review the essential features of intuitionism. My analysis will enable us to do away with objections that are based on misrepresentations of intuitionism. These misrepresentations are not so much incorrect readings of the works of intuitionists; rather they are the result of a stereotypical conception of intuitionism. This stereotype has been used rhetorically and has reduced the incentive to study the intuitionists themselves. The main purpose of this chapter is to introduce intuitionism to philosophers who have never felt the need to read the work of the intuitionists seriously. This chapter shows that studying the intuitionists can be very fruitful indeed.
