Als diese fünf Aufsätze Gottlob Freges 1962 in der Kleinen Vandenhoeck-Reihe erstmals erschienen, war Gottlob Frege noch weithin unbekannt. Damals bedurfte es noch einer ausführlichen Begründung der Bedeutung Freges für die Gegenwartsphilosophie. Heute sind seine Schriften zu Klassikern geworden, die für kühne Thesen mit vorbildlicher Klarheit argumentieren. Der Band enthält die Texte Funktion und Begriff; Über Sinn und Bedeutung; Über Begriff und Gegenstand; Was ist eine Funktion? sowie Über die wissenschaftliche Berechtigung einer Begriffsschrift. Ein ausführliches Vorwort des Herausgebers und Frege-"Entdeckers" Günther Patzig und ein Register erleichtern dem Benutzer den Zugang.
