Abstract

Today we find ourselves at the outset of a golden age in the interpretation of Frege’s philosophical writings. Judged by the number of articles, books, and seminars addressing his thought, interest in Frege is at an all-time high. More importantly, as Frege has come out of the shadow of Russell and Wittgenstein into the full light of critical attention, the degree of sophistication of discussion has achieved a quantum improvement. Many factors conspired to bring about this result, but two events may be singled out as having made special contributions both to the resurgence of interest in and to our greater understanding of Frege’s work.
