Frege: A Guide for the Perplexed: Guides for the Perplexed

Autor Dr Edward Kanterian
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 mai 2012
GottlobFrege (1848-1925) was one of the founders of analytical philosophy and thegreatest innovator in logic since Aristotle. He introduced many influentialphilosophical ideas, such as the distinctions between function and argument, orbetween sense and reference. However, his thought is not readily accessible tothe non- expert. His conception of logic, which was crucial to his grandproject, the reduction of arithmetic to logic, is especially difficult tograsp. This book provides a lucid and critical introduction to Frege's logic,as he developed it in his groundbreaking first book Begriffsschrift (Conceptual Notation, 1879). It guides the readerdirectly to the core of Frege's philosophy, and to some of the most pertinentissues in contemporary philosophy of language, logic, mathematics, and mind.Unlike most other books, this commentary explains Frege's own logical notation,allowing students to study and appreciate those aspects of his work that hevalued most but are least understood today.

Recenzii

'This is a splendid book. In a lucid and leisurely style it explains the ideas of the greatest logician since Leibniz and a seminal figure in the growth both of analytical philosophy and of its continental rivals. The author shirks no difficulties. He provides the first book-length elucidation of Frege's original logical notation. He thoroughly explores such ideas as the function-argument and the sense-reference distinction, judiciously discriminating between what we should retain and what we should discard. He sheds a bright light into the darkest recesses of Frege's intricate thought.'
