In the indicated papers it is argued that in the sentences undecidable in Peano arithmetic there are hidden higher-order concepts (via coding by natural numbers of various metamathematical or set-theoretical concepts) and that this is the reason of their undecidability.
Peano arithmetic ``consists of those truths which can be perceived as such directly from the purely arithmetical content of a categorical conceptual analysis of the notion of a natural number.
The truths expressible in the (first-order) language of arithmetic which lie beyond that region are such that there is no way by which their truth can be perceived in purely arithmetical terms'' (Isaacson, 1987, p.~147).} The distinction between proof and truth in \m\ presupposes of course some philosophical assumptions.

 ¥¶. The Nineteenth - Century Mathematics of Germany : Modern Mathematics
The 19th century was the greatest, because of the release of geometry, the abstraction of algebra and the changing in to arithmetic of analysis.
The demand for an even deeper understanding of the foundations of analysis was strikingly brought out in 1874 with publicizing of an example, due to the German mathematician Karl Weierstrass, of a continuous function having no derivative, or, what is the same thing, a continuous curve possessing no tangent at any of its points.
This remarkable program, known as the arithmetization of analysis, proved to be difficult and intricate, but was ultimately realized by Weierstrass and his followers, so that today all of analysis can be logically derived from a postulate set characterizing the real number system.

Nonstandard analysis is a very rich and intricate topic, and I want to give as much of the complete story as possible, but I do not want to bog you down in technicalities.
So powerful is this principle that sometimes nonstandard analysis is considered a branch of mathematical logic, because it is possible to bypass practically all of the ultrafilter construction of the hyperreals and instead jump in with transfer.
With nonstandard analysis, the Leibniz notation for derivatives recovers the meaning its creator intended it to have (in standard analysis the Leibniz notation is used very sparingly because it is considered to be misleading).

Within one generation after Descartes' fundamental advance, the unified science of mathematical analysis was born though the simultaneous and independent discovery of the calculus by Newton in England and Leibniz on the continent.
In the late nineteenth century, this tendency culminated in the so-called arithmetization of analysis, due principally to K. Weierstrass, G. Cantor, and R. Dedekind.
In the last analysis, the foundational power of topos theory turns out to be roughly equivalent to Russell's type theory with an axiom of infinity (which, through the prism of universality, appears more natural and justified) but without the axiom of choice or the principle of excluded middle.

Many of his works were lost when the library of Alexandria was burnt (twice actually) and survived only in Latin or Arabic translations.
As a result, his mechanical method was lost until around 1900, after the arithmetization of analysis had been carried out successfully.
We can only speculate about the effect that the "method" would have had on the development of calculus had it been known in the 16th and 17th centuries.

It is standard to see in this the origins of the distinction between between surface grammatical form and logical form, and thus the origin of linguistic analysis as a method in philosophy which operates by seeing past superficial linguistic form to underlying philosophical analysis.
Because classes would seem to be individuals of some sort, but on analysis are found not to be, Russell speaks of them as “logical fictions”, an expression which echoes Jeremy Bentham's notion of a “legal fiction”.
The analysis also makes the proposition an incomplete symbol because there is no constituent in the analysis of ‘x believes that p’ that corresponds to ‘p’.
