Oct 16 at 14:02 comment added Joel David Hamkins But isn't the legitimacy of recursive definition due to Dedekind in 1888? He showed on the basis of axioms of successor that recursive definitions succeed, and this was how he defined addition and multiplication etc. from successor and it was the basis for his categoricity theorem for the second-order theory of the successor operation.
