Re: Peter Cameron • Infinity and Foundation
We always encounter a multitude of problems whenever we try to rationalize mathematics by reducing it to logic, where logic itself is reduced to a purely deductive style.

There are inklings of this declaration in Leibniz and Boole, outlined more clearly by Peirce’s analysis of the relation between logic and mathematics, succinctly summed up in what I trace here —
