Functions and Generality of Logic Reflections on Dedekind's and Frege's Logicisms

“This book brings together three independently written but complementary contributions on logicism by three experienced specialists. … All in all, the book contributes to an enhanced understanding of the nature, the motives, and the mutual differences between various forms of logicism. … The book provides highly interesting advanced reading for anyone concerned with the systematic and historical details of logicism. It also includes a shared introduction for all three chapters.” (Risto Vilkko, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2016)

“The aim of the book is to shed some light onto the roots of logicism, especially in Frege’s approach, but also in Dedekind’s writings. … This book is an example of excellent historical analysis of foundational questions. It is of particular interest for researchers in the philosophy of mathematics.” (AndrzejIndrzejczak, zbMATH 1330.03009, 2016)
