 Not much is known about other influences on Dedekind, especially philosophical ones. While a student in Göttingen, he did attend a lecture class by Hermann Lotze, called “Deutsche Philosophie seit Kant” (“German philosophy since Kant”), as is clear from notes he took that are preserved in his Nachlass. In his short biography of Riemann (Dedekind 1876a), there is a reference to the post-Kantian philosopher and educator J.F. Herbart, professor in Göttingen from 1833 to 1841, as an influence on Riemann; and in his correspondence, Dedekind mentions the German Idealist J.G. Fichte in passing (Scharlau 1981, Reck 2017). However, he does not aligns himself explicitly with either of them, nor with any other philosopher or philosophical school.  Little is known about which philosophical texts might have shaped Dedekind’s views, especially early on. A rare piece of information we have in this connection is that he became aware of Gottlob Frege’s most philosophical work, Die Grundlagen der Arithmetik (published in 1884), only after having settled on his own basic ideas; similarly for Bernard Bolzano’s Paradoxien des Unendlichen (Dedekind 1888a, preface to the second edition). Then again, several of Dedekind’s mathematical role models had strong philosophical interests, especially Gauss, Riemann, and Cantor; and German intellectual life at the time was saturated with discussions of Kantian and German Idealist views, including debates about the role of intuition for mathematics, and there is evidence that Dedekind was familiar with at least some of them.
