Documentary about Frege with a focus on philosophical intuition
by Discher, Samiro 14 Aug '26

14 Aug '26

Today I found this little documentary about Frege: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5lXVMe5M2s (“Gottlob Frege: The Man Who Redefined What It Means to Think” by “Vollet – Philosophy of Mind & Meaning”) According to video overlays (e.g., at 10:37), it is a preview of a longer video series. It makes use of "AI"-generated animations, but I still found it enjoyable to watch. Samiro

Please send us your events!
by Richard Lawrence 24 Jul '26

24 Jul '26

Dear IFS members, Are you hosting a conference about Frege, or giving a talk about Frege at another event this summer? If so, please send information about it to events(a)fregesociety.org! (You should also feel free to CC this mailing list.) We'd like the Frege Calendar [1] to become *the* place to find comprehensive information about Frege-related events. This will help us to build a genuine community of scholars, and to show the world (including funding bodies...) that Frege scholarship is alive and well. I have some plans for features which will make the Frege Calendar more useful, such as filtering by country, and subscribing to it in calendar applications. But before I build those features, I'd like to have more data, so I can see what makes sense and so I can test the code. You can help by sending us data for any events you're hosting or attending. If you have any other ideas for how to make the calendar more useful, please also reply here so we can discuss it. Thanks! -- Best, Richard [1] https://www.fregesociety.org/events/

The Frege Archive
by Günther Eder 01 Jul '26

01 Jul '26

Dear all, In case you haven't come across it yet, I'd like to draw your attention to a feature of the IFS website: The Frege Archive. The aim of the Archive is to provide a comprehensive and easily accessible resource for Frege scholarship. At the moment, it contains links to (almost) all of Frege's published writings in the original German, gathered in one place. I hope it may be useful both to established scholars and to students encountering Frege's work for the first time. The Archive is very much a work in progress. We'd like to continue expanding and improving it, perhaps by adding searchable PDFs, English translations where available, and other resources that might be useful for the study of Frege's writings. If you have ideas about features that would be helpful, we'd be delighted to hear them. You can find the Archive here: https://www.fregesociety.org/resources/archive/ I'd also be very grateful for corrections, suggestions, and additions. In particular, a few of Frege's writings are still missing from the Archive. If you know of online versions that should be included, or if you have PDFs that could potentially be made available through the site, please let us know. Comments, suggestions, and materials can be sent either to the mailing list or directly to: webmaster(a)fregesociety.org <mailto:webmaster@fregesociety.org> Many thanks, and I hope some of you will find the Archive useful. Best wishes, Günther

IFS Constitution
by Jim Hutchinson 09 May '26

09 May '26

Dear International Frege Society, We have a constitution! It seemed like a good idea to decide in the early stages on some basic aspects of what the Society is all about and how decisions are made, and then write these things down so that everyone could refer to them. Ours is modelled on the constitutions of similar societies. You can find it here: https://www.fregesociety.org/about/ifs/constitution We can vote to add things or change them at the meeting next year, so please make a note of any improvements you think of. Best wishes, --jim

Accounts on lists.fregesociety.org
by Richard Lawrence 07 May '26

07 May '26

Dear Fregeans, Hello and welcome! I guess I have the privilege of writing the first message to the IFS members list. We're still figuring out how best to manage the mailing list (thanks for your patience); but one thing that's become clear in the last few days is that *subscribing to the mailing list* is different from *having an account* at lists.fregesociety.org. If you received this message, you are subscribed to the list. But since most of you were subscribed manually by one of us, you probably do *not* yet have an account. You need an account if you want to manage your subscription settings. These include things like whether you want to receive messages individually or as weekly digests, and whether messages to the list should be delivered to you at all. I recommend you set up an account so you can change these settings. You can sign up for an account via the web interface here: https://lists.fregesociety.org/accounts/signup/?next=/mailman3/lists/member… As long as you use the same email address which is subscribed to the list, your account should automatically become associated with your existing subscription. Please let me know if you have questions or run into any problems. -- Best, Richard
