The Reason's Proper Study Essays towards a Neo-Fregean Philosophy of Mathematics

Here, Bob Hale and Crispin Wright assemble the key writings that lead to their distinctive neo-Fregean approach to the philosophy of mathematics. In addition to fourteen previously published papers, the volume features a new paper on the Julius Caesar problem; a substantial new introduction mapping out the program and the contributions made to it by the various papers; a section explaining which issues most require further attention; and bibliographies of references and further useful sources. It will be recognized as the most powerful presentation yet of a neo-Fregean program.

Bob Hale is Professor of Metaphysical Philosophy at the University of Glasgow. Crispin Wright is Professor of Logic and Metaphysics, and Wardlaw Professor, at the University of St Andrews.
