Logicism and the Philosophy of Language brings together the core works
by Gottlob Frege and Bertrand Russell on logic and language. In their
separate efforts to clarify mathematics through the use of logic in
the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Frege and Russell
both recognized the need for rigorous and systematic semantic analysis
of language. It was their turn to this style of analysis that would
establish the philosophy of language as an autonomous area of inquiry.
This anthology gathers together these foundational writings, and
frames them with an extensive historical introduction. This is a
collection for anyone interested in questions about truth, meaning,
reference, and logic, and in the application of formal analysis to
these concepts.
