Truth And Beautiful,an Investigation On Frege’s Aesthetic

Friedrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege (1848-1925), is a famous German mathematician, logician and philosopher. He is the founder of mathematical logic, but also the founders of analytical philosophy. Frege’s thought has an important position in the history of philosophy and history of logic. His work had a profound and extensive influence on modern philosophy. Analysis of aesthetics as the philosophy analysis branch, we can also find the source from Frege. Therefore, from the perspective of history, research on aesthetics of Frege, to our understanding of the historical development of aesthetics analysis and significance.Foreign to Frege’s logic and philosophy has a lot of research. Frege’s research can be said to be popular. The researches on Frege are relatively weak. Frege’s translation of only a few of the. In addition to Wang Lu conducted a special study on Frege, and published a monograph about Frege, the other for the introduction of Frege, only scattered in the history of philosophy or philosophy textbooks and some sporadic papers. The research about Frege’s aesthetic thoughts not only in foreign countries is very rare, very rare in the country. This is mainly because Frege is a logician, he for the aesthetic attention itself is very few. Even so, we should also see some of the aesthetics he discusses is very profound and valuable, this value is not due to the number of little faded, it seems unique value. This is why I choose Frege’s aesthetic thoughts as topic.Frege’s philosophy is based on his logical thought. He began by establishing a logical system, in the process of naturally some philosophical problems are very detailed and meticulous study. Of course, he also involves some aesthetic issues, and have some very basic aesthetic problems. For example, the definition of beauty of art and artistic ontology defines the problem of subjectivity and objectivity of beauty problems. To understand Frege’s philosophy or aesthetics, understand his logic thought is very critical, and even can be said to be a necessary condition.In logic, Frege established a formal language and deduction system is very complete, provides a very precise tool for scientific analysis and philosophical analysis. He established the deductive system of modern logic in the history of the first order predicate system. Lay a very solid foundation of his brilliant work for the development of modern logic. In establishing his system of logic, Frege draws on the use of natural language used in traditional logic and mathematics language, and creatively added logical connectives and quantifiers in modern logic symbols, the degree of precision is much more than the traditional logic. First, he introduced that symbol. That sign will be "true" as a predicate independent, rather than the traditional logic that is still confined to the syntax of natural language form. Frege believes that the distinction between traditional logic of subject predicate word only grammatical meaning, without logic. Secondly, Frege introduced the logical connectives and quantifiers, including conditional relations, negation, quantifier, there are a series of symbols such as quantifier. On this basis, Frege also proposed nine axioms and inference rules two. So he created the logic inference system first in the modern sense, has laid a solid foundation for the development of modern logic, but also provides a powerful tool for the analysis of later philosophy.In philosophy, Frege from his logical theory, and analyzes the function of concept. He believes that the concept is the function. The concept is not complete, need to complete something added to it. The proper name is complete, can be added to the concept. Meaning and means he further distinguish the sentence. The meaning of a sentence is its thought, the reference of a sentence is its true value. Thoughts do not belong to the external physical world, do not belong to the inner subjective world, but the idea is still the objective. Thought to belong to the "third range". It should be said that this distinction is the logical thought of Frege.In terms of aesthetics, Frege set out from the comparison of the truth and beauty of two predicates, obtained a series of simple but profound conclusion. He believes that beauty is a degree, but really is no degree. We can find that the two objects are beautiful, but one more than another; but if the two thought is true, one is not more than a true. The real thing by itself is true, but nothing by itself is beautiful. Objective beauty is always established on the main body of the United states. Art is the representation of the composition and external things such as statues and paintings but we produce this kind of art media. Enjoy each have their own art, so there is no contradiction between the aesthetic judgment, there should be no argument about aesthetic force.Frege is not only a serious scientist, but also a profound thinker. In the logic of science, he established the first predicate logic of first order system, has a direct impact on Russo Whitehead and later logicians, made great contribution to the development of modern logic. Some people even founder Aristotle he and logic as visible his status in the history of logic is unusual. In philosophy, Frege is the first person of analytic philosophy. Russo Wittgenstein and others have had in common with him. Especially Wittgenstein, on several occasions to Frege’s home, and discuss the philosophical problems, directly influenced by Frege.Russell has devoted to establish pure logical calculus framework proposed by Frege, and given a very high rating. Wittgenstein also admitted that in the "Tractatus", Frege is the two source of his thought, another is Russell. Carnap is the premise of the logic system of Frege as his philosophical discussion. In addition, with the works of Frege’s translation in the English speaking world publishing, Frege also more and more influence in Western philosophy. English is the world’s most important philosophers such as church, Quine et al are specially written introduction to Frege thought the article. After Domit vigorously promoted, it has been generally acknowledged that Frege has changed the traditional understanding of philosophy theory model, language analysis -efers to the philosophy of the first, and then started a revolutionary change in the history of philosophy, therefore, he occupies a very important position in the history of modern philosophy. It can be said that Frege is the first person really contributed to the linguistic turn in philosophy.
