FREGE: Interview with Prof. Michael Potter (1/3)
Показать описание
Over three sessions I interview Michael Potter, Cambridge Professor and Frege expert, all about Frege. In this first session we cover a brief biography, some background on Frege's overall project, such as his anti-psychologism, and then go in-depth on his first published book, _Begriffsschrift_ (or Conceptual Notation), and some of the key ideas in that work, such as scope and quantification and the act-content distinction, and why they were so revolutionary.
The second session will be on Frege's second book, _Die Grundlagen der Arithmetik_ (The Foundation of Arithmetic), which is a deeply philosophical work that provided major insight for philosophy of mathematics.
The third session will discuss the Sense-Reference distinction, his third book, _Grundgesetz der Arithmetik_ (Basic Law of Arithmetic), Russell's paradox, and the lasting impact of Frege's work on philosophy.

_____Channel description_____
I am a graduate of Cambridge University with a PhD in Philosophy. My thesis was on the nature of truth, and I specialise in metaphysics, logic, and the history of analytic philosophy. I believe philosophy should be made accessible to the curious and philosophers have a duty to reenter the public debate on the questions of importance to our age. This channel is my attempt to do that!
On a personal level, I am a lucky husband, and proud father of two young boys that keep me very much grounded!

To take the ideas I explore on this channel to the next level with in-depth videos and more academic content, please become a member. Most of the videos I produce are exclusive to members. There are also options here to get in touch with me and do philosophy together. Also, with your support I will be able to spend more time reading, thinking, writing, and shooting video content for all you good people! But I need to keep my family fed too, so your membership is GREATLY appreciated.
It's a simple equation: more members = more videos. Thanks!
