Friedrich Ludwig Gottlob Frege (; ; 8 November 1848 – 26 July 1925) was a German
philosopher,
logician, and
mathematician. He is considered to be one of the founders of modern logic and made major contributions to the
foundations of mathematics. He is generally considered to be the father of
analytic philosophy, for his writings on the philosophy of language and mathematics. While he was mainly ignored by the intellectual world when he published his writings,
Giuseppe Peano (1858–1932) and
Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) introduced his work to later generations of logicians and philosophers.
