Eliot
Yeah, yeah, his theory of numbers doesn't really make any sense. But, whatever. You try to define a number.
Vladimir
Necessary to understand the core of Ludwig Witggentein's masterpiece "Tractatus logico-philosophicus" who built on this previous, necessary work.
Simon
Originally read many years ago. Michael Dummett cites its #62 as the "most pregnant philosophical paragraph ever written"!
Josie
I have no recollection of having read this book but I have it on good authority that I did.
Hevel Cava
Excellent, lucid, wonderful, clever, delightful...
David
Just reread this mornings in the bathroom, lovely for clearing my head, not much use otherwise. Still can't understand what those reducing math to logic folks were thinking.
Libcrypt
Written like a knife, this concise exposition of Frege's philosophy of mathematics still stands up well to scrutiny today.
Courtney
Can't say I fully absorbed this one the first time around. I'll have to give it a second try again later.
