Abstract

L'objet des conférences ici rassemblées est de réfléchir sur les conditions et les limites d'un tel dialogue en se concentrant sur une difficulté récurrente de la sémantique des propositions, à l'intersection de la logique et de la métaphysique : la question de la référence vide. Suivant la méthode "généalogique" définie dans "L'Art des généralités", l'auteur propose un parcours allant de Pierre Abélard, Jean Buridan, Grégoire de Rimini à Alexius Meinong, Anton Marty et Adolf Reinach, c'est-à-dire du nominalisme médiéval au réalisme post-brentanien. Cette histoire des théories du signifié propositionnel est l'occasion d'introduire des outils nouveaux en histoire de la métaphysique, comme les "tropes" ou "particuliers abstraits" et les truth-makers (vérificateurs) et des tester leur apports, par-delà l'opposition entre histoire analytique et histoire épistémique.

Abstract

Gottlob Frege has exerted an enormous influence on the evolution of twentieth-century philosophy, yet the real significance of that influence is still very much a matter of debate. This book provides a completely new and systematic account of Frege's philosophy by focusing on its cornerstone: the theory of sense and reference. Two features distinguish this study from other books on Frege. First, sense and reference are placed absolutely at the core of Frege's work; the author shows that no adequate account of the theory can avoid analysing the notion of thought that underpins it, or explaining how it has clarified our concept of judgement. Second, the theory is situated within the development of Frege's thought; the author reveals how the theory caused Frege to alter many of his fundamental views. In doing so the author presents a clearer picture of the problems the theory was intended to solve, and delineates more sharply the characteristic features of Frege's philosophy.
