CFP: Frege and Beyond

The year 2025 marks one hundred years since the death of Gottlob Frege, one of the founding figures of modern logic and analytic philosophy. Frege’s pioneering work on logic, language, and the philosophy of mathematics continues to shape philosophical and formal inquiry across disciplines. Yet his influence extends far beyond his original system, inspiring ongoing debates about meaning, reference, truth, abstraction, inference, and the nature of logical form.

This workshop, held as part of Unilog 2025, aims to commemorate Frege’s enduring legacy while exploring new directions inspired by his thought. We invite contributions that engage directly with Frege’s writings as well as those addressing broader topics connected to his work in logic, philosophy of language, mathematics, or metaphysics.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Frege’s contributions to the foundations of logic and their contemporary relevance
• The influence of Frege’s ideas on modern logic: is contemporary logic really his intellectual heir?
• Fregean distinctions such as sense and reference in current semantic and philosophical debates
• Logicism, abstraction principles, and the philosophy of mathematics in light of Frege’s work
• The relation of Fregean thought to alternative logical or philosophical traditions
• Formal and philosophical reflections inspired by Frege’s notion of logical form
• Applications and reinterpretations of Frege’s ideas in mathematics, linguistics, or computer science
• Commemorating Frege: historical, biographical, and interpretive perspectives
