Logicism

Logicism is a philosophy that suggests all mathematical concepts and truths can be derived from basic principles of logic, the formal system of reasoning. It aims to show that math is fundamentally rooted in logical reasoning, meaning that complex mathematical ideas can be reduced to simple logical statements. Think of it as trying to prove that everything in math can ultimately be explained using clear, consistent rules of logical thought, emphasizing that mathematics and logic are essentially the same discipline. This idea was notably promoted by mathematicians like Bertrand Russell and Gottlob Frege.
