The circularity reading of Frege’s indefinability argument
Thought: A Journal of Philosophy 9 (2):128-136 (2020)
Abstract
This paper criticizes the circularity reading of Frege's argument for the indefinability of truth. According to this reading, Frege is appealing to a sort of circularity in the argument. I argue that the circularity reading is interpretatively incorrect, or makes Frege's argument a non‐starter.Author's Profile
