Critical Introduction to the Philosophy of Gottlob Frege

Gottlob Frege is one of the greatest logicians ever and also a philosopher of great significance. In this book Rosado Haddock offers a critical presentation of the main topics of Frege''s philosophy, including, among others, his philosophy of arithmetic, his sense-referent distinction, his distinction between function and object, and his criticisms of formalism and psychologism. More than just an introduction to Frege''s philosophy this book is also a highly critical and mature assessment of it as a whole in which the limitations, confusions and other weaknesses of Frege''s thought are closely examined. The author is also a Husserlian scholar and this book contains valuable discussions of Husserl''s neglected views and comparisons between the two great philosophers.
