Opis

This analysis of Frege's views on language metaphysics raised in On Sense Reference, (arguably one of the most important philosophical essays of the past hundred years) provides a thorough introduction to the function/argument analysis. It applies Frege's technique to the central notions of predication, identity, existence and truth, and Bertrand Russell's views throughout serve as a foil to Frege.

Recenzje

'This book is a welcome addition to the current literature on Frege, in particular, and on the philosophy of language in general. It will set the agenda on some topics for some time to come and will bring new life to specific issues which have been widely discussed in the last 20 years.' Eros Corazza, University of Nottingham
