Peirce and Frege on Logic
Though Peirce and Frege played crucial roles in the development of modern logic, there has been so far little scholarly work comparing their positions on the nature of logic. I offer here a comparative study of their views on logic and I show that, although they developed their views independently from each other and with very different projects in mind, their positions are extremely similar (e...
متن کاملFrege on Identity
Frege’s most celebrated paper “On Sense and Reference” begins with a puzzle. The sentences “a=a” and “a=b” superficially strike the reader as being different kinds of claims. Among other things, “a=a” seems to be trivially true, even self-evident. On the other hand, “a=b” is an informative sentence. It is of a kind important to many episodes in the history of science. Deeper reflection, however...

This is to be the accomplishment of abstraction, by which, Frege says, “things are supposed to become identical by being equated.” But how can abstraction, a “capability of the human mind...
متن کاملFrege and Hilbert on Consistency1
Frege's work in logic and the foundations of mathematics centers on claims of logical entailment; most important amongst these is the claim that arithmetical truths are entailed by purely logical principles. Occupying a less central but nonetheless important role in Frege's work are claims about failures of entailment. Here the clearest examples are his theses that the truths of geometry are no...
متن کاملDefinitions and Contradictions Russell , Poincaré , and Leśniewski
This paper is composed of two independent parts. The first is concerned with Russell’s early philosophy of mathematics and his quarrel with Poincaré about the nature of their opposition. I argue that the main divergence between the two philosophers was about the nature of definitions. In the second part, I briefly present Leśniewski’s Ontology and suggest that Leśniewski’s original treatment of...
