Discussions of the foundations of mathematics and their history are
frequently restricted to logical issues in a narrow sense, or else
to traditional problems of analytic philosophy. From Dedekind to
GAdel: Essays on the Development of the Foundations of Mathematics
illustrates the much greater variety of the actual developments in
the foundations during the period covered. The viewpoints that
serve this purpose included the foundational ideas of working
mathematicians, such as Kronecker, Dedekind, Borel and the early
Hilbert, and the development of notions like model and modelling,
arbitrary function, completeness, and non-Archimedean structures.
The philosophers discussed include not only the household names in
logic, but also Husserl, Wittgenstein and Ramsey. Needless to say,
such logically-oriented thinkers as Frege, Russell and GAdel are
not entirely neglected, either. Audience: Everybody interested in
the philosophy and/or history of mathematics will find this book
interesting, giving frequently novel insights.
