Frege’s Begriffsschrift

Frege’s Concept script, better known by its original German name Begriffsschrift, is Frege’s first work in logic, often overshadowed by more philosophical Grundlagen der Arithmetik and more mathematical Grundgesetze der Arithmetik. Nevertheless, it is of great importance for both philosophy and mathematics. Frege’s main goal is to develop a new (formula) language that will enable a precise analysis of the concept of (natural) number. This new ideography must enable the investigation of arithmetic without any references to intuition and without any psychological influences. We will present the content of Begriffsschrift and will try to explain the historical circumstances which lead to its creation. We will also briefly discuss its philosophical and mathematical consequences and argue why it is one of the most important works in logic.
