Abstract

We describe what characteristics of the Minimalist Foundation, for short MF, agree with Bishop’s conception of constructive mathematics and what differs from it. In particular, we explain why adopting the point-free approach of formal topology to develop mathematics in MF. We then end by describing an extension of MF with choice principles closer to Bishop’s conception of constructive mathematics.
