| Popis: | International audience; In Die Zahlen (1888), Dedekind defines an infinite set as a set that is isomorphic with one of its proper parts. In The World and the Individual (1900), the American philosopher Josiah Royce relates Dedekind’s notion to Fichte’s and Hegel’s concept of Self defined as an entity that reflects itself into itself. The first aim of this article is to explain Royce’s analysis and to put it in its proper context, that of a critique of Bradley’s mystical idealism. The second aim is to urge a shift in focus in Dedekind’s scholarship: instead of addressing the question of the relationship between mathematics and philosophy in Dedekind’s work through the supposed intentions of its author, it is more fruitful to analyze the reception that philosophers have made of his texts. |
