Matheology § 055
Gödel takes the paradoxes very seriously; they reveal to him "the
amazing fact that our logical intuitions are self-contradictory." This
attitude toward the paradoxes is of course at complete variance with
the view of Brouwer who blames the paradoxes not on some
transcendental logical intuition which deceives us, but on a gross
error inadvertently committed in the passage from finite to infinite
sets. I confess that in this respect I remain steadfastly on the side
of Brouwer.
