Frege on intuition and objecthood in projective geometry

Publications: Contribution to journal › Article › Peer Reviewed

Abstract

In recent years, several scholars have been investigating Frege's mathematical background, especially in geometry, in order to put his general views on mathematics and logic into proper perspective. In this article I want to continue this line of research and study Frege's views on geometry in their own right by focussing on his views on a field which occupied center stage in nineteenth century geometry, namely, projective geometry.
