Dieudonne on Dedekind

[James Robert Brown]

Several years ago I read something by Jean Dieudonne where he said (perhaps only in passing) that he wanted to reject Dedekind’s theory of real numbers because it was fruitless; it was not generating any new research.

Does anyone know of an article by him (or anyone else) along this line?

Many thanks,

Jim
