Full Idea
Kant taught - and it is an integral part of his doctrine - that mathematics treats a subject matter which is given independently of logic. Mathematics, therefore, can never be grounded solely in logic.
Gist of Idea
Kant taught that mathematics is independent of logic, and cannot be grounded in it
