Frege and the Logic of Sense and Reference
This book aims to develop certain aspects of Gottlob Frege's theory of meaning, especially those relevant to intentional logic. It offers a new interpretation of the nature of senses, and attempts to devise a logical calculus for the theory of sense and reference that captures as closely as possible the views of the historical Frege.
Frege's Changing Conception of Number
I trace changes to Frege's understanding of numbers, arguing in particular that the view of arithmetic based in geometry developed at the end of his life (1924–1925) was not as radical a deviation from his views during the logicist period as some have suggested. Indeed, by looking at his earlier views regarding the connection between numbers and second‐level concepts, his understanding of extensions of concepts, and the changes to his views, firs…
Russell, His Paradoxes, and Cantor's Theorem: Part I
In these articles, I describe Cantor's power-class theorem, as well as a number of logical and philosophical paradoxes that stem from it, many of which were discovered or considered (implicitly or explicitly) in Bertrand Russell's work. These include Russell's paradox of the class of all classes not members of themselves, as well as others involving properties, propositions, descriptive senses, class-intensions, and equivalence classes of coexten…
Russell, His Paradoxes, and Cantor's Theorem: Part II
Sequel to Part I. In these articles, I describe Cantor's power-class theorem, as well as a number of logical and philosophical paradoxes that stem from it, many of which were discovered or considered (implicitly or explicitly) in Bertrand Russell's work. These include Russell's paradox of the class of all classes not members of themselves, as well as others involving properties, propositions, descriptive senses, class-intensions and equivalence c…
Frege and the logic of sense and reference
Is pacifism irrational
When I tell others I disavow the use of violence in any and all its forms, I get different responses. My critics view my pacifism as essentially irrational. They can easily think of circumstances when the only rational action would be to initiate violence in self‐defense or to defend others. Allowing oneself or others to be hurt by not acting, they say, would not only be irrational but also morally decrepit. This critique, or variants of it, has …
