Abstract

Frege is considered by many to be the founder of analytic philosophy, but his importance for the philosophy of mathematics is unrecognized. Despite his inability to deal with the paradoxes pointed out by Russell, personal blind spots, and various serious philosophical shortcomings, he is, says Dummett, "the greatest philosopher of mathematics yet to have written". Not everything of interest on this topic is given here; rather, Dummett means to go "to the heart of Frege's philosophy of mathematics, setting aside everything not of central importance for that purpose".
