Think about these questions before tuesday. I may well add some more to think about for thursday, depending on how much progress we make.
1. What was Frege's goal when writing the concept script?
2. Consider the sentence:
'Katie marked the essays'
What is the (lingustic) function?
How many (lingustic) arguments does it have, and what are they?
Why might the function/argument distinction be helpful?
3. What is Frege's metaphor with the microscope and the eye? What does it show?
4. What kind of inferences could syllogistic logic not cope with?
5. Is logic a branch of psychology? What do you think? What did Frege think?
6. If logic isnt a branch of phsychology, how does this affect (if at all) Frege's defintion of the judgement stroke?
7. Why might we want to axiomatize logic?
8. What is logic?
