The Abductivist Interpretation of Frege's Conception of Logic

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Frege is an abductivist about logic. For him, an acceptable logic must be sufficient—that is, it must be able to explain the relevant data, such as the fact that arithmetical laws are logical truths. Thus, Frege's logicism is an abductive project aimed at establishing the acceptability of his logic, Begriffsschrift.

Against Modal Humeanism
