 The view that analysis is not dependent on geometry, since it falls within the realm of arithmetical and basic logical thought, was not entirely new at the time—Gauss and Dirichlet already held such a view, as mentioned above (cf. also Ferreirós 2007). What Frege’s and Dedekind’s new contributions consisted in were original, detailed reductions of, on the one hand, analysis to arithmetic and, on the other hand, arithmetic to logic. Moreover, each of them complemented these reductions with systematic elaborations of logic. As Dedekind’s work was better known than Frege’s at the time, probably because of his greater reputation as a mathematician, he was seen as the main representative of  “logicism”  by interested contemporaries, such as C.S. Pierce, Ernst  Schröder, and David Hilbert (cf.  Ferreirós 1999, ch. 7,  Ferreirós 2009).
