Reception
editFrege: Philosophy of Language has been highly influential. Together with Frege: Philosophy of Mathematics (1991), it is Dummett's chief contribution to Frege scholarship.[2] However, Dummett's epistemological interpretation of the idea of a route to reference has been seen as unnecessary by the philosopher Daniel Dennett. The philosopher Roger Scruton endorsed Dennett's view.[3]
