What's logical about it.
I read somewhere that it was pertaining to the "logicalism" of turning math into Set Theory, where the number one actually corresponds to the set of all single things. Thus freeing math from being something unscientific, and becoming something which could be more complete and symbolized (somehow - claimed to be better than the number symbols themselves) thus becoming "objective" and, well, "logical". Is that so? Who adopted this way of thinking?
(Written later, just before posting) OH! I just remembered. Its Hilary Putnam. So I'll get that quote and update it here later. 03:01, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
that we are calling logical behaviorism - the doctrine that, just as numbers are (allegedly) logical constructions out of sets, so mental events are logical constructions out of actual and possible behavior events.
