Richard Dedekind's father was a professor at the Collegium Carolinum in Brunswick.
Dedekind and Dirichlet soon became close friends and the relationship was in many ways the making of Dedekind, whose mathematical interests took a new lease of life with the discussions between the two.
Dedekind's work was quickly accepted, partly because of the clarity with which he presented his ideas and partly since Heinrich Weber lectured to Hilbert on these topics at the University of Königsberg.

In 1872 he published his cognitions on his major rigorous redefinition of irrational numbers in terms of Dedekind cut in a paper titled Stetigkeit und irrationale Zahlen (Continuity and irrational numbers).
Dedekind was among the first mathematicians who had accepted Cantor's work on the theory of infinite sets; other mathematicians didn't yet understand their ideas.

In 1867, Wilhelm Griesinger published the second edition of his psychiatric textbook in which he said that mental diseases are brain diseases and that the onset of psychosis was experienced as an intrusion of a 'thou' on the 'I,' or ego.
In 1872, Julius Wilhelm Richard Dedekind, in Stetigkeit und die Irrationalzahlen, maintained that the essence of the continuity of a line consists in the possibility of dividing that by a single point, i.e., an irrational number, e.g., a fraction.
Dedekind regarded arithmetic as a "natural consequence of the simplest arithmetic act, that of counting" (Dedekind 1872:4).
