Opis

Frege is now regarded as one of the world's greatest philosophers, and the founder of modern logic. In addition to his work on the foundation of mathematics, his writing on sense and reference remains deeply influential. Departing From Frege takes Frege's work as a point of departure, but argues that we must depart considerably from Frege's own views if we are to work towards an adequate conception of natural language.

Recenzje
