6. Mathematics / B. Foundations for Mathematics / 5. Definitions of Number / c. Fregean numbers

9586	In a number-statement, something is predicated of a concept [Frege]
	Full Idea: In a number-statement, something is predicated of a concept.
	From: Gottlob Frege (Review of Husserl's 'Phil of Arithmetic' [1894], p.328)
	A reaction: A succinct statement of Frege's theory of numbers. By my lights that would make numbers at least second-order abstractions.
