Compare Works
Pick two or more works to set their attribute fingerprints, dimension-by-dimension passages, and shared school embodiments side by side. Especially useful for author-stage comparisons (Wittgenstein early vs late) and for setting a single tradition's foundational texts against each other.
Grundgesetze der Arithmetik (Basic Laws of Arithmetic)
Frege's 1893-1903 systematic derivation of arithmetic from logic — the formal statement of logicism

Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each work's passages reveal about its stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Grundgesetze der Arithmetik (Basic Laws of Arithmetic)
The 1893-1903 mature-Frege Jena period.
Space
Grundgesetze der Arithmetik (Basic Laws of Arithmetic)
The Jena University setting.
Matter
Grundgesetze der Arithmetik (Basic Laws of Arithmetic)
The abstract-mathematical objects.
Observer
Grundgesetze der Arithmetik (Basic Laws of Arithmetic)
Frege as proper-mathematical-logical-philosophical investigator.
Energy
Grundgesetze der Arithmetik (Basic Laws of Arithmetic)
The intellectual-formal-logical energies.
Information
Grundgesetze der Arithmetik (Basic Laws of Arithmetic)
The systematic formal content of the two volumes.
Internal Tensions
Where each work's argument pulls against itself.
Russell's 1902 paradox letter revealed the system's inconsistency; Frege's 1903 appendix attempted a fix; subsequent work (Russell-Whitehead Principia, Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory) reconstructed the foundations.
