Despite a widespread assumption that everyone fits into neat gender categories, I’ve always been treated as a gender question mark. My social interactions since childhood have been filled with wildly vacillating gender expectations. These da..

2024-2 Frege and Russell Midterm Exam#2) Explain why so many interpreters have held that Frege’s formal work breaches the distinction between term and wff. Find passage(s) in “On Sense and Reference” that suggest that Frege held that a declarative sentence names a truth-value. Explain how one can save Frege from this breach by interpreting his view as introducing characteristic functions for pro..

Explain how it is that concepts can play the role of what mathematicians nowadays call “characteristic functions.” Could Frege identify the True with, say 0 and identify the False with 1? Would this be met..
