Gottlob Frege Gottlob Frege (1848-1925) was the creator of a new logic that has come to replace Aristotle’s syllogistic logic accepted as definitive for more than 2,000 years. The book examines the historical sources of Frege’s work and, in particular, its relation to Leibniz, Kant, and the Neo-Kantian tradition in philosophy.
