Sign and meaning in Ludwig Friedrich Gottlob Frege

More about the book

The analysis emphasizes the superiority of written signs over oral signs in Frege's logical symbolism, highlighting that logical reasoning achieves epistemological significance only when it relies on uniquely meaningful symbols within a structured system. This preference underscores the importance of rigor and precision in scientific knowledge. Frege's written signs are portrayed as more refined, enabling access to a higher realm of pure knowledge that transcends sensory experience.
