Description:"The present book results from three papers. Each of them has been written independently of the others by one of us, but they share a common philosophical and historical background. All of them question a too easy reading of the origins of logicism, one which assimilates different views and purposes, both with one another and with more modern (but not necessarily more appropriate)conceptions. The common aim is to emphasise nuances and peculiarities among different ways of pursuing a program which only very broadly could be described as the reduction of(a part of) mathematics to logic. Though mainly devoted to discuss (some of)Dedekind’s and Frege’s views, they also deal with other conceptions somehow connected with these, in particular some endorsed by Lagrange, Cauchy, Weierstrass, Hilbert, Russell, Ramsey and Carnap.The papers, or some of their previous versions, have somehow circulated within the scientific community, but have all remained unpublished up to now. We decided to put them together in a single volume, both because of their dealing with a common topic and because of their complementarity. They stem from shared standpoints and conceptions concerning the particular subject of enquiry, as well as on matters of philosophical and historical methodology, and their final versions,which we present here, ensue from many exchanges among us. But they pursue different specific aims. We hope they could jointly contribute to a better and more detailed picture of a crucial event in the development of philosophy of mathematics and logic.
