  • Jonathan Barnes　　“What is a Begriffsschrift?”,　in: dialectica, vol. 56, Issue 1, 2002

Before Frege, the term Begriffsschrift'was used to indicate (i) a language the expressions of which adequately represent the structure of the judgements or concepts which they signify, and (ii) a language the written signs of which designate ideas rather than sounds. In 1879 Frege follows (i). Later he adopts (ii) —and with it the Aristotelian theory of language in which it is embedded.

  • Dirk Greimann　　“What is Frege's Julius Caesar Problem?”,　in: dialectica, vol. 57, Issue 3, 2003

This paper aims to determine what kind of problem Frege's famous "Julius Caesar problem" is. whether it is to be understood as the metaphysical problem of determining what kind of things abstract objects like numbers or value-courses are, or as the epistemological problem of providing a means of recognizing these objects as the same again, or as the logical problem of providing abstract sortal concepts with a sharp delimitation in order to fulfill the law of excluded middle, or as the semantic problem of fixing the referents of the corresponding abstract singular terms. It is argued that, for Frege, the Caesar problem is a bundle of related problems of which the semantic problem is the most basic one.

In this paper we outline and discuss various solutions to a restricted, but we think, more interesting version of the infamous Caesar Problem. …

  • Gary Kemp　　“Caesar from Frege's Perspective”,　in: dialectica, vol. 59, Issue 2, 2005

I attempt to explain Frege's handling of the Julius Caesar issue in terms of his more general philosophical commitments. …

  • Fraser MacBride　　“The Julio César Problem”,　in: dialectica, vol. 59, Issue 2, 2005

One version of the Julius Caesar problem arises when we demand assurance that expressions drawn from different theories or stretches of discourse (‘2’, ‘Julius Caesar’) refer to different things. The counter-Caesar problem arises when assurance is demanded that expressions drawn from different theories (‘0’, ‘Nx : x≠x’). refer to the same thing. The Julio César problem generalises from the counter-Caesar problem. It arises when we seek reassurance that expressions (singular terms) drawn from different languages refer to the same kind of things (objects). …　I argue that the threat posed by the Julio César problem diminishes …

  • Gabriel Uzquiano　　“Semantic Nominalism”,　in: dialectica, vol. 59, Issue 2, 2005

The aim of the present paper is twofold. One task is to argue that our use of the numerical vocabulary in theory and applications determines the reference of the numerical terms more precisely than up to isomorphism. …　The second task is to explore the impact of this conclusion on what I call semantic nominalism, which is the view that ordinary physical objects and other contingent existents are eligible to be the referents of numerical terms. …

  • Heimir Geirsson　　“Frege and Object Dependent Propositions”,　in: dialectica, vol. 56, Issue 4, 2002

Gareth Evans and John McDowell have challenged the traditional reading of Frege according to which Frege accepted propositions that are not object dependent, i.e., propositions that can exist even though the proper names that occur in the sentences that express them do not refer. …　This paper will focus on Frege's views on the issue and, in particular, whether there is any evidence that the mature Frege, i.e., after he introduced the sense/reference distinction, did not accept propositions that are not object dependent. …

エルンスト・マッハは，衝撃波の物理学研究やマッハ-ブロイラー説などの生理学研究，マッハ帯などの感覚論研究に多大な業績を残した科学者である。本書はマッハの科学研究を浮き彫りにし，その歴史的意義を問うものである。

Springerから2001年に同じ編者で出たErnst Mach's Vienna 1895-1930という本とは、目次を比べてみると、異なっているように見える。互いに違う本なのかな？
