First published in 1982, this reissue contains a critical
exposition of the views of Frege, Dedekind and Peano on the
foundations of arithmetic. The last quarter of the 19th century
witnessed a remarkable growth of interest in the foundations of
arithmetic. This work analyses both the reasons for this growth of
interest within both mathematics and philosophy and the ways in
which this study of the foundations of arithmetic led to new
insights in philosophy and striking advances in logic.
This historical-critical study provides an excellent
introduction to the problems of the philosophy of mathematics -
problems which have wide implications for philosophy as a whole.
This reissue will appeal to students of both mathematics and
philosophy who wish to improve their knowledge of logic.
