No one has figured more prominently in the study of the German
philosopher Gottlob Frege than Michael Dummett. His magisterial
"Frege: Philosophy of Language" is a sustained, systematic analysis
of Frege's thought, omitting only the issues in philosophy of
mathematics. In this work Dummett discusses, section by section,
Frege's masterpiece" The Foundations of Arithmetic" and Frege's
treatment of real numbers in the second volume of "Basic Laws of
Arithmetic," establishing what parts of the philosopher's views can
be salvaged and employed in new theorizing, and what must be
abandoned, either as incorrectly argued or as untenable in the
light of technical developments.
Gottlob Frege (1848-1925) was a logician, mathematician, and
philosopher whose work had enormous impact on Bertrand Russell and
later on the young Ludwig Wittgenstein, making Frege one of the
central influences on twentieth-century Anglo-American philosophy;
he is considered the founder of analytic philosophy. His philosophy
of mathematics contains deep insights and remains a useful and
necessary point of departure for anyone seriously studying or
working in the field.
