Essays on Frege.

£50 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

An imposing collection of 31 essays on Gottlob Frege divided into three sections on ‘Frege’s Ontology’, ‘Frege’s Semantics’, and ‘Frege’s Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics’. The distinguished list of contributors includes Bertrand Russell, W.V. Quine, John R. Searle, G.E.M. Anscombe, Max Black, Peter T. Geach, Michael Dummett, and Gustav Bergmann, amongst others. The collection is appended by three important essays by Frege in English translation that were not included in the earlier collections of translations by Geach and Black. Frege’s influence on Wittgenstein and Russell in particular cannot be overstated, and in his and Whitehead’s preface to the Principia Mathematica (1910) Russell declared that, “in all questions of logical analysis our chief debt is to Frege”.
