Frege is widely considered to be the greatest logician since Aristotle, and one of the most profound philosophers of mathematics ever. [11] His contributions include the development of modern logic in the Begriffsschrift and work in the foundations of mathematics.
Sep 14, 1995 · Friedrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege (b. 1848, d. 1925) was a German mathematician, logician, and philosopher who worked at the University of Jena. Frege essentially reconceived the discipline of logic by constructing a formal system which, in effect, constituted the first ‘predicate calculus’.

Feb 7, 2023 · Friedrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege (b. 1848, d. 1925) is often credited with inventing modern quantificational logic in his Begriffsschrift.
In 1879 the young German mathematician Gottlob Frege—whose mathematical specialty, like Boole’s, had actually been calculus—published perhaps the finest single book on symbolic logic in the 19th century, Begriffsschrift (“Conceptual Notation”).
Locke’s emphasis on individual words, as well as the foundational role he assigned to psychology, were attacked by the German logician Gottlob Frege (1848–1925), who is generally regarded as the father of modern philosophy of language.
Gottlob Frege (1848-1925) is most celebrated today for his contributions to mathematical logic and the philosophy of language. The first section below considers why a philosophical investigation of language mattered at all for Frege, the mathematician, and why it should have mattered to him.
