I would definetely not merge the two, they should be kept separate.

[edit] Merging

I don't see the necessity of this page being merged with cardinality.

[edit] Julius Baumann?

Sparing the gory details, I find Frege's work (Sense and Reference) to be philosophically naive. I often wondered how Frege could possibly espouse a theory of meaning so obviously at odds with Kant without some defense of his theory vis a vis Kant.

So the comment that Frege had "probably never read Hume" leads me to wonder if Frege ever read Kant. If Frege never read either Hume or Kant, isn't analytical philosophy, of which Frege is one of the "fathers", in some sense an illegitimate child? Can whoever wrote this page include some more details regarding Frege's philosophical background?

Thanks in advance,
