 These attempts to reveal the full significance of Dedekind’s approach are initial forays and in need of further elaboration. However, one aspect seems clear enough: The methodological and epistemological perspective that shapes Dedekind’s mathematical works is not independent of the logical and metaphysically views emerging in his more foundational writings. This is no accident; if one adopts his methodological stance, it is hardly possible to hold on to narrowly computational, formalist, empiricist, or intuitionist views about mathematics. More specifically, a structuralist methodology along Dedekindian lines calls for a structuralist metaphysics, as two sides of the same coin. Dedekind seems to have been keenly aware of this fact, even if he did not elaborate it much in his writings.
