Synopsis
Widespread interest in Frege's general philosophical writings has been elicited by the discovery of the mathematical properties of Frege's contextual definition of number and of the character of his proposals for a theory of the real numbers. This collection of essays addresses three main developments in recent work on Frege's philosophy of mathematics: the emerging interest in the intellectual background to his logicism; the rediscovery of Frege's theorem; and the re-evaluation of the mathematical content of "The Basic Laws of Arithmetic". Each essay attempts a sympathetic, if not uncritical, reconstruction, evaluation or extension of a facet of Frege's theory of arithmetic. Together they form an accessible and authoritative introduction to aspects of Frege's thought.

Review
This is clearly the best collection of articles on Frege's philosophy of mathematics in existence today. It is also (unlike many collections of articles that are published these days) practically very useful. It serves as an excellent introduction to what is the liveliest part of Frege scholarship today, and to what has become an important sub-field of contemporary philosophy of mathematics, namely the understanding and assessment of the logistic project.--Leon Horsten "Zentralblatt MATH "
