Die Grundlagen der Arithmetik

"Die Grundlagen der Arithmetik" by Gottlob Frege is a philosophical work published in 1884. Frege presents his logicist program, arguing that arithmetic can be reduced to pure logic. He challenges Kant's view that arithmetic consists of synthetic judgments and Mill's empirical approach, proposing instead that mathematical truths are analytic. The work critiques previous attempts to define number by philosophers like Leibniz and Schröder, before offering Frege's own definition. His approach influenced later analytical philosophy.
