This is a guide to the thought and ideas of Gottlob Frege, one of
the most important but also perplexing figures in the history of
analytic philosophy. Gottlob Frege is regarded as one of the
founders of modern logic and analytic philosophy, indeed as the
greatest innovator in logic since Aristotle. His groundbreaking
work identified many of the basic conceptions and distinctions that
later came to dominate analytic philosophy. The literature on him
is legion and ever-growing in complexity, representing a
considerable challenge to the non-expert. The details of his logic,
which have come into focus in recent research, are particularly
difficult to grasp, although they are crucial to the development of
his grand project, the reduction of arithmetic to logic, and the
associated philosophical innovations. This book offers a lucid and
accessible introduction to Frege's logic, taking the reader
directly to the core of his philosophy, and ultimately to some of
the most pertinent issues in contemporary philosophy of language,
logic, mathematics, and the mind. "Continuum's Guides for the
Perplexed" are clear, concise and accessible introductions to
thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can find
especially challenging - or indeed downright bewildering.
Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes the subject
difficult to grasp, these books explain and explore key themes and
ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of
demanding material.
