= Constructivism (mathematics)
{wiki=Constructivism_(mathematics)}
Constructivism in mathematics is a philosophy or approach that emphasizes the need for mathematical objects to be constructed explicitly rather than merely existing as abstract entities that may or may not be realizable. This viewpoint is opposed to classical mathematics, where existence proofs are often sufficient to establish the existence of a mathematical object, even if no specific example or construction is provided.
