The Modernity of Dedekind’s Anticipations Contained in what Are Numbers and What Are They Good for? (2018)

unapi

We show that Dedekind, in his proof of the principle of definition by mathematical recursion, used implicitly both the concept of an inductive cone from an inductive system of sets and that of the inductive limit of an inductive system of sets. Moreover, we show that in Dedekind’s work on the foundations of mathematics one can also find specific occurrences of various profound mathematical ideas in the fields of universal algebra, category theory, the theory of primitive recursive mappings, and set theory, which undoubtedly point towards the mathematics of twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
