Frege, Peano and the Interplay between Logic and Mathematics
In contemporary historical studies, Peano is usually included in the logical tradition pioneered by Frege.

description | In contemporary historical studies, Peano is usually included in the logical tradition pioneered by Frege. In this paper, I shall first demonstrate that Frege and Peano independently developed a similar way of using logic for the rigorous expression and proof of mathematical laws. However, I shall then suggest that Peano also used his mathematical logic in such a way that anticipated a formalisation of mathematical theories which was incompatible with Frege’s conception of logic. |
