Editorials

From the Publisher

"There is nothing comparable for giving students not only an overview of Frege's achievements, but also a first access to the foundational problems on which he wrote. Kenny's prose is peerless in this regard - accurate, transparently accessible and, of course, informed by a real appreciation of the central importance of the matters Frege was writing about. It should be compulsory reading for all students of philosophy." Michael Luntley, University of Warwick
