Widespread interest in Frege's general philosophical writings is,
relatively speaking, a fairly recent phenomenon. But it is only
very recently that his philosophy of mathematics has begun to
attract the attention it now enjoys. This interest has been
elicited by the discovery of the remarkable mathematical properties
of Frege's contextual definition of number and of the unique
character of his proposals for a theory of the real numbers.
This collection of essays addresses three main developments in
recent work on Frege's philosophy of mathematics: the emerging
interest in the intellectual background to his logicism; the
rediscovery of Frege's theorem; and the reevaluation of the
mathematical content of" The Basic Laws of Arithmetic," Each essay
attempts a sympathetic, if not uncritical, reconstruction,
evaluation, or extension of a facet of Frege's theory of
arithmetic. Together they form an accessible and authoritative
introduction to aspects of Frege's thought that have, until now,
been largely missed by the philosophical community.
