List of women treated in #George Ballard's Memoirs of British Ladies (1752)

[edit]

Ballard provided memoirs for over 60 women, presenting them in chrologically order.This list is a (perhaps misguided) effort at an alphabetical order. The title given by Ballard appears in single quotation marks; other name variants and dates are provided by cross-checking with #ODNB and #WBIS Online. Where there is as yet no Wikipedia entry. I often have no idea which name is best to use.

Husserl: number as multiplicity (Veilheit)

[edit]

Euclid's classical definition of number (arithmos) was a "a multitude composed of units" (to ek monadon synkeimenon plethos) [1] This concrete notion of number and multiplicity as a finite collection of items (there could be a five of horses, and a five of people, and these would be two different fives) stands in constrast to more abstract notions of number developed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as mathematicians sought to work with continuous quantities using symbolic algebra. [2]

How to characterize the relation between arithmetic and mathematical analysis remained as a question for the foundations of mathematics. Karl Weierstrass, whose lectures Husserl attended in 1878 and 1880, grounded analysis in arithmetic.[3]. And Weierstrass saw the concept of number from the activity of counting a given collection of things: a number was a multiplicity (Veilheit) of units apprehended as a single presentation (Vorstellung). [4] Husserl's dissertation Über den Begriff der Zahl (On the Concept of Number, 1887) and first book, Philosophie der Arithmetik (1891), set out to develop a philosophical theory of the concept of number along these lines. In one way, this recalled Euclid's classical definition of number. Yet Husserl's approach - in contrast to that of Euclid - was psychological: number as multiplicity was the outcome of some psychological activity of combination, rather than a specification of the

Secondly, Husserl was aware of and influenced by Cantor's development of set theory. EArly Husserl psychological (in contrast to Cantor and Frege trying to separate logic from psychology
