This monograph is a defence of the Fregean take on logic. The
author argues that Freges projects, in logic and philosophy of
language, are essentially connected and that the formalist shift
produced by the work of Peano, Boole and Schroeder and continued by
Hilbert and Tarski is completely alien to Frege's approach in the
Begriffsschrift. A central thesis of the book is that judgeable
contents, i.e. propositions, are the primary bearers of logical
properties, which makes logic embedded in our conceptual system.
This approach allows coherent and correct definitions of logical
constants, logical consequence, and truth and connects their use to
the practices of rational agents in science and everyday life.
