Frege's Theorem by Heck, Richard G., Jr - 2011

Oxford: Clarendon Press (2011), 2011. First edition. Hardcover. Very near Fine/very near Fine. 8vo. [5], vi-xiv, [1], 2-307, [15] pp. Navy cloth with gold lettering on the spine. A collection of essays by one of the world's foremost experts on Fregean philosophy. Heck focuses on Frege's Theorem, which tells us that the axioms of arithmetic can be derived logically from a singel principle: the number of things x is the same as the number of things y, just in case things x can be matched up one-to-one with things y. A Fregean examination of issues in the philosophy of mathematics and logic, and the connections to metaphysics and epistemology that follow. A tiny bump to the foot of the spine, overall a lovely copy.
