Intuitionism is a philosophy of mathematics, which holds that mathematical objects exist in intuition.

Intuitionism is based, fairly directly, on the philosophy of Immanuel Kant.

Examples

Bold mine.

From Jacob Lurie, Higher Topos Theory[1]:

Unfortunately, not every -topos can be obtained as topological localization of an -category of presheaves. Nevertheless, in §6.2.4 we will construct -categories of sheaves which closely approximate using the formalism of canonical topologies.
