This article discusses the position taken by the German philosopher \n Edmund Husserl\en on the role to be played by intuition (in a psychological sense) in the foundations of mathematics. The author points out the influence which was exerted by Husserl on mathematicians such as \n H. Weyl\en and \n E. Schmidt\en, who in the foundational dispute opposed Hilbert's program of formalism. The varying views of Husserl on intuition and on the possibility of assigning meaning to formal systems of symbols (together with operations and their rules) are documented by citing many passages from the original works of Husserl.
