Abstract

The subjects of consideration in this article are intuition-based conceptions of continuity; the conceptions created by Giusseppe Veronese, Paul du Bois-Reymond, Franz Brentano, Charles Sanders Peirce and Henri Poincare in response to Richard Dedekind and Georg Cantor’s ideas of arithmetical continuity. The author tries to find a common factor in the notions of the intuitive continuity used by the mentioned mathematicians and philosophers
