Frege, G.

Annotation

G. contrasts the Fregean view that a proposition may occur in discourse now asserted, now unasserted, and yet be recognizably the same proposition, with a number of erroneous theories of assertion. Further, he concentrates on the philosophical problems caused by the failure to see Frege's point.
