| 17495 | Proof aims to remove doubts, but also to show the interdependence of truths [Frege] |
| Full Idea: Proof has as its goal not only to raise the truth of a proposition above all doubts, but additionally to provide insight into the interdependence of truths. | |
| From: Gottlob Frege (Grundlagen der Arithmetik (Foundations) [1884], §02) | |
| A reaction: This is a major idea in Frege's thinking, and a reason why he is the father of modern metaphysics as well as the father of modern logic. You study the framework of truths by studying the logic that connects them. |
