Frege, Russell and Wittgenstein on existence and negative existentials
… investigate the theories of existence of Gottlob Frege (1848–1925), Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) and Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951), three of the founding figures of analytic philosophy. As to Frege and Russell, I challenge the common historical narrative according to which they developed and …

Aristotle and Frege on Method in the Philosophy of Mathematics
… use of this approach by considering the problems Frege encounters as a result of his method of investigating the philosophy of mathematics, which begins from a more logico-mathematical perspective. These problems, broadly speaking, concern the degree to which Frege must take on metaphysical …

The Common Foundation of Neo-Logicism and the Frege-Hilbert Controversy
… of mathematics: Hale and Wright's neo-Fregean logicism and the Frege-Hilbert controversy. Using this connection, I adapt Frege's objections to Hilbert and apply them to Hale and Wright's account. By doing this, I show that the neo-Fregean logicists have long abandoned the Fregean …

Θέματα απο την λογική του G.Frege
Ο Frege κατά την εξέταση ορισμένων περιορισμών που παρουσίαζαν οι μέθοδοι σε προηγούμενες εκδοχές της Λογικής διαπίστωσε ότι, για παράδειγμα, η Αριστοτελική λογική δεν μπορεί πάντα να χρησιμοποιηθεί για την ορθή αξιολόγηση διαδικασιών συναγωγής συμπερασμάτων. Ο ίδιος χρειαζόταν μια πιο πλούσια …

Propositions and meaning : a study of denotationist theories of logical meaning
… theories in the writings of Brentano, Meinong, Frege, and early Moore and Russell. Broadly speaking, the views discussed represent two distinct theories of the proposition. Firstly, there is the theory that propositions, in the sense of meaning-objects denoted by sentences, are identical with or …

Lexical meaning and propositional representation : an investigation into the problem of the unity of the proposition
… regressive analysis. In chapter 2, I assess Frege‟s approach to the problem, and show that he offers a fundamental insight by way of his approach to analysis which draws an absolute distinction between functions and their argument, and treats concepts as functions to truth-values. Frege has, …

The Primitive Thesis: Defending a Davidsonian Conception of Truth
… working through early Moore, Russell, and Frege, and provide improved interpretations of their reasons for advancing and (in the cases of Moore and Russell) eventually abandoning the primitive thesis. I show the importance of slingshot-style arguments in the work of Frege, Church, Davidson, …

Propositional proof systems : efficiency and automatizability
… for almost all natural proof systems, including: Frege systems, extended Frege systems, resolution, Horn resolution, the sequent calculus, the cut-free sequent calculus, as well as the polynomial calculus. We introduce the Monotone Minimum (Circuit) Satisfying Assignment problem and reduce it to …

Organising Polish workers : a comparative case study of British (Unison) and Swiss (Unia) trade union strategies
… and trade union revitalisation strategies (Frege and Kelly, 2003). The research argues that the internal dynamics of the unions, such as union identity and structures (Hyman, 2001; Frege and Kelly, 2003), were more instrumental in terms of project outcomes than the position of trade unions …

Prescriptions and universalizability: a defence of Harean ethical theory
… is a full account of the issues surrounding the Frege-Geach problem (often pressed against Hare), showing how it can be solved and how exactly the expressivist’s embrace of minimalism about truth interacts with the solution to the Frege-Geach Problem. I include an explanation of how the …

Mind, meaning and miscommunication
… to meaning, including those of Davidson, Frege, Grice, Putnam, Searle and Tarski. I assess their strengths and weaknesses in the light of the cases of miscommunication that have some bearing upon them. In the final part of the thesis I attempt to provide a coherent account of what meaning …

Wittgenstein and the problem of phenomenology
… as being foreign to the tradition of Russell and Frege, in which Wittgenstein’s thought is taken to have primarily developed. On the basis of partially unpublished material from Wittgenstein’s Nachlass , this thesis provides a reconstruction of the rationale and fate of his peculiar notion of …

Leaving mathematics as it is: Wittgenstein’s later philosophy of mathematics
… such as set theory and the logicist systems of Frege and Russell. But his criticism is confined to the aspirations towards philosophical insight that has been attributed to those systems. This is consonant with Wittgenstein’s promises in (PI, §124) to ‘leave mathematics as it is’ and to see …

A Study of Frege's Views on Truth
In this thesis I study Frege’s views on truth, primarily as expressed in a late series of essays, Logical Investigations, and related unpublished works. The typical approach to Fregean exegesis is to interpret claims he makes and examine both their independent credibility and their consistency with …

Plural predication
… with Gabriel Uzquiano. In the third paper, 'Frege's Unofficial Arithmetic', I consider an application of plural predicates to the philosophy of mathematics. By developing a suggestion of the later Frege, I show that any arithmetical predicate can be transformed into a plural predicate in such …

Intersubjectivity and contemporary social theory: the everyday as critique
… is that it is possible, via Dummett's reading of Frege, to construct a realist account of meaning or, more strictly, sense, which preserves an element of rationality in everyday cultural reception without thereby effecting a radical relativisation of the notion of what constitutes rational …

Wittgenstein and the Grammar of Physics: A Study of Ludwig Wittgenstein's 1929-1930 Manuscripts and the Roots of His Later Philosophy
… of analysis that had guided philosophy since Frege was based on a misused metaphor taken from the grammar of physics: the analysis of an object into its parts or chemical constituents. These ideas reach their ultimate expression in Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. Thus his "later" …

Scientific change and the meanings of terms : an examination of P.K. Feyerabend's incommensurability theses
… theory of meaning, based on views of Frege and Wittgenstein, while not denying some changes in the meanings of scientific terms, does not entail the consequence that there are necessarily radical changes in meaning from theory to theory. Although the objections to traditional …
