G. Frege on Addition - Dictionary of Arguments

I 71
Plus sign/and/addition/Frege: if you use "and" as in "Bunsen and Kirchhoff" then 1 and 1 and 1 does not equal 3, but 1. E.g.: gold and gold and gold is never anything other than gold. What follows is:
1. If we consider the number as a summary of different things, we get a accumulation, and that is not the number.
2. A summary of the same: we always get the 1 as a result.
