Gottlob Frege Books

A magnificent collection of work by the father of analytical philosophyGottlob Frege is widely considered one of the most influential minds in the history of philosophy, having spent a lifetime delving into the nuances of language and mathematics. Widely published on logic, analysis, geometry, and arithmetic, which he regarded as the purest form of thought, Frege's analytic approach to philosophy set the stage for the field's eventual linguistic turn. Collected Paper on Mathematics, Logic, and Philosophy is a compilation of his collected works across fields, allowing readers to share in his evolution of thought and catch a glimpse of a legendary mind at work.

A philosophical discussion of the concept of number In the book, The Foundations of Arithmetic: A Logico-Mathematical Enquiry into the Concept of Number, Gottlob Frege explains the central notions of his philosophy and analyzes the perspectives of predecessors and contemporaries. The book is the first philosophically relevant discussion of the concept of number in Western civilization. The work went on to significantly influence philosophy and mathematics. Frege was a German mathematician and philosopher who published the text in 1884, which seeks to define the concept of a number. It was later translated into English. This is the revised second edition.

This edition of Frege's "Foundations of Arithmetic" is enhanced with a pedagogical framework that provides historical context, influences, and biographical details about Gottlob Frege. It includes a General Introduction outlining the work's significance and its impact on later philosophers. Annotations and editor notes help clarify complex sections, while a bibliography offers resources for further exploration, making this philosophical text more accessible and relevant for contemporary readers.

Die hier vorgelegten Schriften aus dem Nachlass wurden unter dem Gesichtspunkt ausgewählt, dass das Interesse an Frege vor allem seinen Arbeiten zur logisch-semantischen Sprachanalyse gilt. Da diese Arbeiten in engem Verbund mit Themen der Erkenntnis- und Wissenschaftstheorie entstanden sind, rücken auch diese Bereiche der analytischen Philosophie in den Blick.

Freges Werk steht am Anfang der modernen Logik. Es ist das erklärte Ziel Freges, eine universalgültige Sprache des reinen Denkens zu erstellen, die auf allen Wissenschaftsbereichen operabel ist. Freges Formalisierung des Denkens zielt demanch nicht nur auf kombinatorische aussagen- und prädikatenlogische Überlegungen ab, wie sie die formale Logik vorstellt, sondern setzt selbst systemimmanente Prämissen voraus, die es mit der Konstitution von Erkenntnis zu tun haben. Die historischen Auseinandersetzungen mit den Inkonsistenzen der Lehre Freges führten in der formalen Logik und Semantik zu einer Korrektur, die im allgemeinen lediglich deren „formales Regelwerk“ zum Gegenstand hatte.
