cake, even though it is typically given the pride of place in
expositions in Frege's semantics. As a part of this attempted
reversal of emphasis, Jaakko Hintikka has also called attention to
the role Frege played in convincing almost everyone that verbs for
being had to be treated as multiply ambiguous between the "is" of
identity, the "is" of predication, the "is" of existence, and the
"is" of class-inclusion - a view that had been embraced by few
major figures (if any) before Frege, with the exception of John
Stuart Mill and Augustus De Morgan. Hintikka has gone on to
challenge this ambiguity thesis. At the same time, Frege's role in
the genesis of another major twentieth-century philosophical
movement, the phenomenological one, has become an important issue.
Even the translation of Frege's key term "Bedeutung" as "reference"
has become controversial. The interpretation of Frege is thus
thrown largely back in the melting pot. In editing this volume, we
have not tried to publish the last word on Frege. Even though we
may harbor such ambitions ourselves, they are not what has led to
the present editorial enterprise. What we have tried to do is to
bring together some of the best ongoing work on Frege. Even though
the ultimate judgment on our success lies with out readers, we want
to register our satisfaction with all the contributions.
