The paper also draws on Frege’s discussion of the Riemann integral in an unpublished fragment originally intended for Grundgesetze. This paper aims to provide some historical context for Frege’s original definition and his change of mind, including other definitions of infinitesimal that were current and an area of mathematics (Algebraic invariant theory) familiar to Frege in which contextual definitions by equations were used. A scholarly puzzle is that Frege explicitly rejects exactly that definition in Grundgesetze, without any explanation of the change in view. INFINITESIMALS AS AN ISSUE OF NEO-KANTIAN PHILOSOPHY 19 For the neo-Kantians, this was just another example of a philosoph- ically untenable dualism, analogous to the Kantian dualism between the conceptual and the sensual.12 One of Cassirer’s criticisms of Russell’s philosophy of logic was that it succumbed to a naive platonizing.
