Fregean sense

Fregean sense refers to the meaning of a term or expression, distinct from its reference or what it points to. For example, consider "the morning star" and "the evening star"—both refer to the planet Venus, but they have different senses since they evoke different thoughts or concepts. In general knowledge, understanding the Fregean sense helps clarify how language can convey different meanings and nuances, even when referring to the same object. This distinction is crucial for effective communication, as it influences how we interpret and relate to information.
