In The Foundations of Arithmetic, Gottlob Frege contended that the
difference between concepts and objects was absolute. He meant that
no object could be a concept and no concept an object. Benno Kerry
disagreed; he contended that a concept could be an object, and that
therefore the difference between concepts and objects was only
relative. In this book, Jolley aims to understand the debate
between Frege and Kerry. But Jolley's purpose is not so much to
champion either side; rather, it is to utilize an understanding of
the debate to shed light on the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein-and
vice versa. Jolley not only sifts through the debate between Frege
and Kerry, but also through subsequent versions of the debate in J.
J. Valberg and Wilfred Sellars. Jolley's goal is to show that the
central notion of Philosophical Investigations, that of a
'conceptual investigation', is a legacy of the Frege/Kerry debate
and also a contribution to it. Jolley concludes that the difference
between concepts and objects is as absolute in its way in
Philosophical Investigations as it was in The Foundations of
Arithmetic and that recognizing the absoluteness of the difference
in Philosophical Investigations provides a beginning for a
'resolute' reading of Wittgenstein's book.
