As a Platonist [[Gödel]] was reticent in the presence of the [[logical positivism]] of the Vienna Circle. Goldstein discusses [[Wittgenstein]]'s impact and the impact of the formalists.

But van Heijenoort says Herbrand's conception was "on the whole much closer to that of Hilbert's word 'finitary' ('finit') that to "intuitionistic" as applied to Brouwer's doctrine". * {{cite book | first=Dennis E. | last=Hesseling | title=Gnomes in the Fog.
