Fregean Logic

Fregean Logic is an approach to formal reasoning developed by philosopher and mathematician Gottlob Frege. It emphasizes understanding the meaning (concepts) behind statements and the relationships between them, rather than just their truth or falsehood. This logic uses precise symbols to represent ideas, allowing complex thoughts to be broken down and analyzed systematically. It laid the groundwork for modern formal logic and analytic philosophy by focusing on how language and thought connect, helping us clarify reasoning processes, distinguish between concepts, and analyze the structure of meaningful statements.
