6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 6. Logicism / d. Logicism critique

1635	Mathematics reduces to set theory (which is a bit vague and unobvious), but not to logic proper [Quine]
	Full Idea: Mathematics reduces only to set theory, and not to logic proper… but set theory cannot claim the same firmness and obviousness as logic.
	From: Willard Quine (Epistemology Naturalized [1968], p.69-70)
