Bøker av Sir Michael Dummett

The philosophy of Gottlob Frege (1848-1925) is seen by many as the starting point for the modern analytical movement: Russell, Wittgenstein and Quine were all influenced by Frege, and much of analytical philosophy can be viewed as building on, or attempting to correct his work. In 1973 Michael Dummett published "Frege: Philosophy of Language", the first of two volumes devoted to a survey and discussion of Frege's philosophy, considered as roughly divisible between the philosophy of language and philosophy of mathematics. This is the second volume in a corrected paperback edition.

A practical handbook encouraging writers to become more consciously aware of the way in which they employ words, drawing attention to points of grammar and offering hints on various styles of writing.
