The Function is Unsaturated
In Michael Beaney (ed.), The Oxford Handbook of the History of Analytic Philosophy. Oxford University Press (forthcoming)
| Abstract | An investigation of what Frege means by his doctrine that functions (and so concepts) are 'unsaturated'. We argue that this doctrine is far less peculiar than it is usually taken to be. What makes it hard to understand, oddly enough, is the fact that it is so deeply embedded in our contemporary understanding of logic and language. To see this, we look at how it emerges out of Frege's confrontation with the Booleans and how it expresses a fundamental difference between Frege's approach to logic and theirs. | |||||||||
