Written by a Professor of Philosophy at Indiana University, Frege Explained: From Arithmetic to Analytic Philosophy is an in-depth examination of Frege's career and legacy. Frege's work was marked by his determination to show that arithmetic is really a part of logic; while that effort ended in failure, in the process Frege revolutionized philosophic understanding of logic and set the foundation for analytic philosophy. Chapters survey Frege's life and character, his "new logic" and definitions of numbers, his logical investigations and speculations upon the foundations of geometry, his impact upon recent and modern philosophy, and much more. Especially for philosophy students and scholars, Frege Explained presents complex concepts in as straightforward a manner as practically possible, and is especially recommended for college library philosophy shelves.
