6. Mathematics / B. Foundations for Mathematics / 4. Axioms for Number / d. Peano arithmetic

17459	Frege's Theorem explains why the numbers satisfy the Peano axioms [Heck]
	Full Idea: The interest of Frege's Theorem is that it offers us an explanation of the fact that the numbers satisfy the Dedekind-Peano axioms.
	From: Richard G. Heck (Cardinality, Counting and Equinumerosity [2000], 6)
	A reaction: He says 'explaining' does not make it more fundamental, since all proofs explain why their conclusions hold.
