Description
Book SynopsisPresents a translation of Frege's philosophical writings. Intended to provide the essential primary texts for students of logic, philosophical logic, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mathematics, this work also contains Frege's four papers Function and Concept, On Concept and Object, On Sense and Reference, and Thought.
Trade Review"The book aims to be the best single edition available for introductory Frege courses. It is a well organized, reasonably priced one-stop Frege shop. It is too convenient not to be used in introductory courses on Frege; in fact, as a single volume, it has no competition I can think of. The general conception is excellent. It is easily readable by graduates or advanced under graduates. The forty-six page introduction and notes to the translations make it useful also for Frege scholars. The book's virtues are strong. I recommend it for courses on Frege, philosophy of language, philosophy of logic, and analytic philosophy."
