Frege Summary

Frege: An Introduction to the Founder of Modern Analytic Philosophy by Anthony Kenny (University of Oxford)

Frege Reviews

There is nothing comparable for giving students not only an overview of Frege's achievements, but also a first access to the foundational problems on which he wrote. Kenny's prose is peerless in this regard - accurate, transparently accessible and, of course, informed by a real appreciation of the central importance of the matters Frege was writing about. It should be compulsory reading for all students of philosophy. Michael Luntley, University of Warwick
