Jean Cavaillès (1903-1944) was a French philosopher and mathematician known for his contributions to the philosophy of mathematics, logic, and the history and foundations of mathematics. He was particularly interested in the relationship between mathematics and philosophy, exploring how mathematical concepts are related to human understanding and reasoning. Cavaillès is often associated with the Brouwerian and intuitionistic movements in mathematics, which emphasize the importance of constructive proofs and the philosophical implications of mathematical practice.
