Abstrakt
In a letter to David Hilbert, datelined January 27, 1900, Georg Cantor takes a position against Dedekind's opinion that numbers are "free creations of the human mind" ("free" underlined by Cantor), and the editors comment as follows: In der Überzeugung, daß Zahlen auch transiente Realitat besitzen [. . . ], besteht denn auch die wesentliche Differenz zu Dedekind, dem die Zahlen "freie Schopfungen des menschlichen Geistes" sind.
