Gottlob Frege on Number of (Amount) - Dictionary of Arguments
I 47 Number of/amount/Frege: "number of" is a term. Number/Frege: a number is an object. I 60 Number of/amount/Frege: "number of" is no multiplicity. That would exclude 0 and 1. I 100/101 Def Number of/Frege: "number of" is the number which belongs to the concept F, the scope of the term is "the same number (of) as the concept F". I 100 Scope/term scope/Frege: if the straight line a is parallel to the straight line b, the scope of the term "straight line parallel to the line a" is equal to the scope of the term "straight line parallel to the line b" and vice versa - scope equality. >Term scope, >Equality. I 101 Number of/Frege: "number of" belongs to a concept. E.g. the term F - it is then the scope of the term "equal in number to the term F". I 107 Number/fall under/covered by/Frege: objects fall under concepts. In contrast: numbers (of) belong to terms. "Number of" equals a term scope. >Concept, >Object, >Numbers._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
