Here's a couple videos of a lecture by Graham Priest, now a professor at CUNY (which I'm still waiting to hear from whether they've accepted or rejected me). In these videos Priest gives a very intuitive and straightforward summary of Gottlob Frege's work. It's really cinchy to understand, but gives you a good understanding of the basic terrain. Enjoy.

I will deal with forgiving you.
i use those quantifiers all the time! "for all" and "there exists some"!
and i've done delta-epsilon proofs! continuity and uniform continuity! w00t. yeah, the "can't lift your hand" isn't the cool definition of continuity now.
and...while i agree that the use of quantifiers is a big deal, his example of "everyone saw somebody" is technically clear.
oh and hilbert! of hilbert space fame! and turing of turing machine fame!
i'll watch the other video tomorrow!
and i never knew how to pronounce "dedekind cuts" before either.
kewl stuff.
I think "everyone saw somebody" is ambiguous. It could mean that everyone saw somebody or that everyone saw somebody. Get it?
hahahahaha
