Frege: A Guide for the Perplexed - Philosophy Book for Beginners & Students | Perfect for Logic, Mathematics & Analytic Philosophy Studies

As a neophyte regarding the works of Frege, I have several texts, at different levels of complexity, regarding his thoughts. Most take a positive view towards Frege, while not overlooking ambiguities, changes of conceptual ideas etc. Kanterian however, is very negative. This book limits discussion to the Begriffsschrift (and a few later essays) and the author finds fault with Frege's writings on almost every page. I think his problem is that he doesn't understand that in creating a symbolic language, Frege's goal was to move beyond the uncertainties of language, especially the unspoken assumptions and innuendoes. Thus the existence of the 'judgement stroke'. Thus the 'horizontal stroke'. The 'condition stroke' really gets Kanterian going, criticizing Frege's use of inference. He does not like the abbreviated method of Frege, which is a little tricky to understand but which, once understood, only serves to shorten the demonstrations. Is there anything good about this book? Yes there is. It was comforting for me to realize that I have, albeit a neophyte, a better understanding of Frege that Kanterian, and he wrote a book about it.
