Description
An important collection of essays by a distinguished philosopher
Reviews
This collection will be of interest primarily to Frege scholars and to historians of analytic philosophy, as a supplement to Dummett's longer works on Frege. Philosophers investigating the nature of thought and its relationship to language will also be interested. * International Philosophical Quarterly, Dec 1993. *
Writing with a customary combination of boldness and scrupulousness, Dummett brings some of the most important issues in analytic philosophy into sharp focus ... he provides a fascinating insight into what gives analytic philosophy its elan vital. Here he is at his powerful, incisive best * AW Moore, Times Literary Supplement *
a philosophically rich and challenging collection ... Highly recommended for advanced undergraduates and above. * W. Taschek, University of Michigan, Choice, Nov '91 *
a writer who shows himself, in this volume, to be a skilled and sensitive historian of philosophy, as well as an analytical philosopher of distinction ... each of these papers requires and repays close reading * Gregory Currie, The Philosophical Quarterly, Vol. 42, No. 168 *
Dummett's writings are thought-provoking and it is useful to have these essays collected * Peter Milne, University of Edinburgh, Heythrop Journal, July 1994 *
I find his collection very useful. It contains lucid analyses, challenges reflection, and sheds light on Frege's intellectual relations to other philosophers. As a result, it helps us to gain a deeper understanding of his philosophy. * History and Philosophy of Logic *
