  1. H. Grassmann's 1844 Ausdehnungslehre and Schleiermacher's Dialektik.Albert C. Lewis - 1977 - Annals of Science 34 (2):103-162.
    Hermann Grassmann's ideas on the nature and foundations of mathematics were published as an integral part of his mathematical treatise, the Ausdehnungslehre, in 1844. In spite of its notoriously obscure style we can better understand the work if we view it as an expression of the dialectical philosophy of his mentor, the theologian F. Schleiermacher. The relation to Schleiermacher is presented here through an analysis of the principal ideas of the Ausdehnungslehre.

  • Notes on the fate of logicism from principia mathematica to gödel's incompletability theorem.I. Grattan-Guinness - 1984 - History and Philosophy of Logic 5 (1):67-78.
    An outline is given of the development of logicism from the publication of the first edition of Whitehead and Russell's Principia mathematica (1910-1913) through the contributions of Wittgenstein, Ramsey and Chwistek to Russell's own modifications made for the second edition of the work (1925) and the adoption of many of its logical techniques by the Vienna Circle. A tendency towards extensionalism is emphasised.
