Frege: A Guide for the Perplexed by Edward Kanterian

Frege: A Guide for the Perplexed by Edward Kanterian

Gottlob Frege is regarded as one of the founders of modern logic and analytic philosophy, indeed as the greatest innovator in logic since Aristotle. This book offers an introduction to Frege's logic, taking the reader directly to the core of his philosophy.

‘This is a splendid bookIn a lucid and leisurely style it explains the ideas of the greatest logician since Leibniz and a seminal figure in the growth both of analytical philosophy and of its continental rivals. The author shirks no difficulties. He provides the first book-length elucidation of Frege's original logical notation. He thoroughly explores such ideas as the function-argument and the sense-reference distinction, judiciously discriminating between what we should retain and what we should discard. He sheds a bright light into the darkest recesses of Frege's intricate thought.' -- Michael Inwood, Professor Emeritus, Trinity College, University of Oxford, UK

Edward Kanterian is lecturer in philosophy at the University of Oxford, and the author of Analytic Philosophy (2004) and Wittgenstein (2007).
