Summary/Abstract: This article completes and concludes the explanatory scheme proposed in the framework of a comparative analysis applied to the approaches of Bergson and Brouwer, which I have developed in two previous papers. As I have already pointed out, those analyses, on the one hand, are part of a large enterprise of historical and philosophical hermeneutical panorama of Brouwer’s mathematical intuitionism, meant to discover and detail as many of the significant philosophical developments potentially included in his texts. On the other hand, we intend to use on this occasion a special interpretative structure, starting from the role played by some key elements in the conceptual configuration of modernity in general, which are manifestly found in the works of the two thinkers.
