LONDON AND NEW YORK

I have given two seminars and one lecture series on Frege in Bern and Zurich. These seminars were immensely helpful in writing this book. I want to thank the participants for challenging me to explain Freges ideas, which, in turn, made me understand Frege better (I think). I am grateful to Gabriel Segal and David Papineau, my heads of department during the time I wrote this book, who supported me by granting me leave and to Andreas Graeser and Katia Saporiti for giving me the opportunity to teach in Bern and Zurich. While working on Frege, a number of talks supplied valuable feedback. I want to thank my audiences in Bern, Dublin, Geneva, Hamburg, London, Warwick and Zurich (twice). I have presented material on Frege repeatedly in the Kings Philosophy Department Staff Seminar, Oliver Blacks discussion group, the Metaphysics discussion group and the Tuesday discussion group. I am grateful to these groups for their critical input. Many people have helped me greatly by reading individual chapters or drafts and giving me detailed feedback. I want to thank Will Bynoe, John Callanan, Chris Cowie, Hanjo Glock, Fabian Gmuendner, Chris Hughes, Brian King, Dominique Kuenzle, Guy Longworth, Fraser MacBride, Christele Machut, Christian Nimtz, Benjamin Schnieder and Ulrich Stegmann. Many thanks to Alexander Davies, Tim Pritchard and Christoph Pfisterer who have read large parts of the manuscript and whose comments have helped me a lot. Many thanks also to Jessica Leech. She has read the complete first and second draft and helped me again and again to get clear about important points. I have worked with David Galloway in a weekly two-person seminar through most of the manuscript. I am grateful to David for asking me so many hard questions that resulted in changes in the book. I also want to thank Wolfgang Knne. He taught the seminar in which I first learned about Freges ideas (I hope my grasp of Freges views has improved over the years). We managed to discuss the first draft in an (almost) six-hour phone call. His comments to the manuscript prevented me from many mistakes. I am grateful to three anonymous referees whose extensive comments led to significant changes. I want to thank Tony Bruce and Katy Hamilton for support and guidance. My final thanks go to Tim Crane and Jonathan Wolff for including the book in their series.
