"There is much that is interesting, thought-provoking, and original in Taking Frege at his Word. Weiner's rejection of the four claims that make up the Standard Interpretation is sophisticated and insightful." -- Roy T. Cook, Philosophia Mathematica "offers an important correction to conclusions that one may be too willing to draw about Frege ... useful to anyone interested in the history of analytic philosophy." -- Gregory Lavers, Metascience, "offers an important correction to conclusions that one may be too willing to draw about Frege ... useful to anyone interested in the history of analytic philosophy." -- Gregory Lavers, Metascience, offers an important correction to conclusions that one may be too willing to draw about Frege ... useful to anyone interested in the history of analytic philosophy.

Synopsis
Frege is widely regarded as having set much of the agenda of contemporary analytic philosophy. As standardly read, he meant to introduce--and make crucial contributions to--the project of giving an account of the workings of (an improved version of) natural language. Yet, despite the great admiration most contemporary philosophers feel for Frege, it is widely believed that he committed a large number of serious, and inexplicable, blunders. For, if Frege really meant to be constructing a theory of the workings of (some version of) natural language, then a significant number of his stated views--including views that he claimed to be central to his philosophical picture--are straightforwardly wrong. But did Frege mean to be giving an account of the workings of language? He himself never actually claimed to be doing this, and, indeed, never even described such a project. Taking Frege at his Word offers an interpretation that is based on a different approach to his writings. Rather than using the contributions he is taken to have made to contemporary work in the philosophy of language to infer what his projects were, Joan Weiner gives priority to Frege's own accounts of what he means to be doing. She provides a very different view of Frege's project. One might suspect that, on such a reading, Frege's writings would have purely antiquarian interest, but this would be a mistake. The final two chapters show that Frege offers us new ways of addressing some of the philosophical problems that worry us today., Frege is widely regarded as having set much of the agenda of contemporary analytic philosophy.

The final two chapters show that Frege offers us new ways of addressing some of the philosophical problems that worry us today., This study offers a new interpretation of the writings of Gottlob Frege. It advances our understanding of the history of analytic philosophy, and shows that Frege's writings have important significance for the way we should approach contemporary problems concerning language, logic, and mathematics., He is thought to have introduced-and made crucial contributions to-the project of giving an account of the workings of natural language. Yet, despite the great admiration most contemporary philosophers feel for Frege, it also is widely believed that he committed a large number of serious, and inexplicable, blunders. If Frege really meant to be constructing a theory of the working of natural language, then a significant number of his stated views-including views he portrayed as central to his philosophical picture-are straightforwardly wrong. But did Frege really mean to be giving an account of the workings of language? He never explicitly said so. And, as Joan Weiner shows in Taking Frege at his Word, if we take seriously Frege's own accounts of what he means to be doing, a very different and exciting philosophical project comes into view. The apparent blunders in his writings turn out not to be blunders at all. Moreover, far from turning Frege's writings into an object of purely antiquarian interest, the Frege Weiner uncovers has on offer new ways of addressing of important contemporary philosophical problems.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
