Apr 21, 2016 at 11:23 comment added Bruno Bentzen I guess the reason is that the intuitionist only recognizes sets that can be constructed out of the basal intuition, "and this can only be done by combining a finite number of times the two operations: 'to create a finite ordinal number' and 'to create the infinite ordinal number $\omega$'. Consequently the intuitionist recognizes only the existence of denumerable sets." (Intuitionism and Formalism, p.58)
