Dedekinds paper is I believe 1872 actually and this is more in line with the set theory research explosion as cantor had published his results by this point. Plus him and Dedekind were close friends so they would have known of eachother’s research. Russell’s paradox is not until like 1900 in response to I believe Frege’s own publication. This is why Hilbert then includes questions around the foundations of mathematics in his list because of these issues with sets and logic, while also offering up the famous phrase “we shall not be chased from the paradise cantor has created for us”.
