The Latest Frege [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Many authors believe that the manuscripts Frege wrote in 1924–1925 are not theoretically of interest. They are rather a product of his emotional despair and theoretical dead-end which he reached in the last years of his life.

It is widely agreed that language understanding has a distinctive phenomenology, as illustrated by phenomenal contrast cases.
