'Noonan's book provides a careful and painstaking, yet readilyaccessible, exposition of Frege's principal doctrines. His evidentsympathy with Frege's views never interferes with a searchinglycritical assessment. Whilst many important claims in the book arefar from being uncontroversial, its final two chapters - on Frege'sphilosophical logic and theory of meaning - must rank among thebest discussions available.' Bob Hale, University ofGlasgow "This is an excellent introduction to Frege...There's much toadmire and agree with in this book" Steven Robinson, Philosophyin Review
