ABSTRACT

126For a long time, it seemed to me that with Frege logic was finally unreadable, that this “name,” Gottlob Frege, was so deeply hidden, so barricaded behind correct technique, that it could never be revealed. The consensus among logicians is that Frege’s is the most important achievement in the history of logic. Was this because Frege had finally managed to close all the openings where I, as a reader, might intervene? Had logic finally become what it had aspired to be all along, a pure artifact beyond understanding, to be examined, used, contemplated, admired, even discarded, but without response?
