JVF Conference Papers
I hope to answer three questions with this paper. 1. What is psychologism?, 2. What is so bad about psychologism?, and 3. Why should we care? I shall start with a preliminary answer to each of these questions. This introduction shall be followed by a discussion of Gottlob Frege’s views on psychologism, which will make up the bulk of the paper. I conclude with some thoughts on the relevance of Frege’s antipsychologism to contemporary philosophy of language and to the ethics of discourse.
