Ramírez Calle, Olga 2024-10-03T09:05:21Z 2024-10-03T09:05:21Z 2020 Ramírez Calle, O. (2020) Numbers, Empiricism and the Priori. Logos & Episteme, 11 (2), 149-177. https://doi.org/10.5840/logos-episteme202011212 https://hdl.handle.net/10630/34254 https://doi.org/10.5840/logos-episteme202011212 The present paper deals with the ontological status of numbers and considers Frege ́s proposal in Grundlagen upon the background of the Post-Kantian semantic turn in analytical philosophy. Through a more systematic study of his philosophical premises, it comes to unearth a first level paradox that would unset earlier still than it was exposed by Russell. It then studies an alternative path that, departing from Frege’s initial premises, drives to a conception of numbers as synthetic a priori in a more Kantian sense. On this basis, it tentatively explores a possible derivation of basic logical rules on their behalf, suggesting a more rudimentary basis to inferential thinking, which supports reconsidering the difference between logical thinking and AI. Finally, it reflects upon the contributions of this approach to the problem of the a priori. eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ open access Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Análisis filosófico Números Matemáticas - Filosofía Numbers, empiricism and the a priori journal article
