Constructive realism is a philosophical approach that combines elements of constructive mathematics and realism. It emphasizes the idea that mathematical objects and theories are constructed by mathematicians rather than simply discovered as pre-existing entities. In constructive mathematics, a statement is considered true only if there is a constructive proof that demonstrates the existence of a mathematical object. This contrasts with classical mathematics, where existence can be asserted without necessarily providing a specific example.
