Thank you so much! so helpful. You're really good at this and easy to listen. Soothing voice and bright thought pattern. Thank you. Its a bummer to hear he was Anti-semite, I'm from Israel :( but fuck that. keeping feelings outside the theory is hard.

I believe that Frege was a proponent of logicism, not logicalism. At least, that is the word used by most logic books. But great video.

[Zmaraikaka]

U have explained it very beautifully, thanks!

Quick question: If we can never compare inner representations between different consciousnesses, then how did we ever discover that color blindness actually exists?

4:40 Logic and mathematics. Frege was almost right, and his critic tried to unify logic and mathematics too, but also came across new discrepancies that he too couldn’t account for. But it’s not logic that needs to united with math, but rationality. Rationality encompasses logos…. And can you guess the last two? -LT

is the end of this is basically Wittgenstein's idea that some things cannot be said but only shown?
