Frege

Frege was a German mathematician and logician who developed foundational ideas for modern logic and philosophy of language. He aimed to clarify how words relate to meaning, distinguishing between the *sense* (the way a thought is presented) and the *reference* (what a term points to in the real world). His work helped establish formal logic as a precise tool for analyzing language and mathematics, influencing the development of computer science, linguistics, and philosophy. Essentially, Frege sought to understand how language expresses truthful ideas and how those ideas relate to reality.
