That which renders Logic possible is the existence in our minds of general notions, — our ability to conceive of a class, and to designate its individual members by a common name...A successful attempt to express logical propositions by symbols...should be founded upon the laws of the mental processes which they represent... — George Boole, A Mathematical Analysis of Logic, 1847
No description of...mental processes which precede the forming of a judgement of number...can ever take the place of a genuine definition of the concept. It can never be adduced in proof of any proposition of arithmetic; it acquaints us with none of the properties of numbers. For number is no whit more an object of psychology or a product of mental processes than, let us say, the North Sea is. The objectivity of the North Sea is not affected by the fact that it is a matter of our arbitrary choice which part of all the water on the earth’s surface we mark off and elect to call the “North Sea”. This is no reason for deciding to investigate the North Sea by psychological methods. — Gottlob Frege, Grundlagen der Arithmetik, 1884
