Frege: Philosophy of Language (1973; second edition 1981) is a book about the philosopher Gottlob Frege about his philosophy of language and other views by the British philosopher Michael Dummett.
Reception
Frege: Philosophy of Language has been highly influential. Together with Frege: Philosophy of Mathematics (1991), it is Dummett's chief contribution to Frege scholarship. 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. Eike-Henner Kluge noted that the text, especially on his discussion of Frege's intellectual life, is very well-written and serves as an interesting (albeit challenging, especially given its length) book for even average readers who may not be familiar with all of Frege's philosophy.
