Chapter § 1 in Foundations of Mathematics, 1993, pp 1-6 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract About one hundred years ago, Dedekind was Professor of Mathematics at the ETH in Zurich, teaching differential and integral calculus. He describes how teaching this particular subject he was confronted with the questions of the foundations of analysis. Dedekind’s little book „Was sind und was sollen die Zahlen“1, which still makes enjoyable reading, reflects his ingenious approach to the problem.
