Abstract Charles Dacre Parsons passed away on April 19, 2024, aged 91. In this obituary, four of his PhD students and one colleague and collaborator discuss, in an order (roughly) determined by the development of Parsons’s career, his engagement with proof theory; Quine; Kant; Brouwer and Gödel; and mathematical structuralism.
