The two works titled "What Are and What Should the Numbers Be?" (1888) and "Continuity and Irrational Numbers" (1872) are Dedekind's contributions to the foundations of mathematics; therein, he laid the groundwork for set theory and the theory of real and natural numbers. These writings are indispensable in modern mathematics. However, Dedekind's achievements have not always been adequately acknowledged, and the content of these books is still little known to many mathematicians today.
