Abstract:
Frege is regarded as the founder of modern logic as well as analytical and linguistic philosophy. His views on the laws of logic form a significant part of his philosophy of logic. This lecture explores Frege’s ideas on the laws of logic based on his perspective on the subject matter of logic. The discussion will address the definition of logical laws, their characteristics, and their distinction from the laws of thought. These analyses clarify the tasks of logical research and provide insights into Frege’s logical philosophy, enriching our understanding of modern logic.
