(Edinburgh), 1970. 8vo. Orig. printed grey wrappers. Very nice and clean. Pp. 481-486 (rest of the volume: pp. 487-640, [16 pp. - advertisements] ). First publication in English of Frege's essay on the number, translated from the French (in which it was first publiseh, "Le nombre entier." The original French article first appeared in "Révue Métaphysique et de Morale", vol. iii, 1895, pp. 73-78.Friedrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege (1848 - 1925) was a German mathematician, but his main contributions lie in his becoming a logician and a philosopher, who influenced the fields of logic and analytic philosophy immensely. Together with Wittgenstein, Russel and Moore, Frege is considered the founder of analytic philosophy, and a main founder of modern mathematical logic. His influence on 20th century philosophy has been profound, especially in the English speaking countries from the middle of the 20th century and onwards; in this period most of his works were translated into English for the first time.The philosophical papers of Frege were published in Germany in scholarly journals, which were barely read outside of German speaking countries. The first collections of his writings did not appear untill after the the Second World War, and Frege was little known as a philosopher during his lifetime. He greatly influenced the likes of Russel, Wittgenstein and Carnap, though, and bears a great responsibility for the turn modern philosophical thought has taken. Due to his contributions to the philosophy of language, analytic philosophy could be founded as it were.
