My paper 'Frege plagiarized the Stoics' is now out (links below). As the title indicates, I argue that #Frege plagiarized the #Stoics (and I mean exactly that) and did so on a large scale in his work on the philosophy of #logic and #PhilosophyOfLanguage. (1 of 6)
I use ‘#plagiarize' (or '#plagiarise’ & #plagiarism) merely as a descriptive term. The essay is not concerned with finger pointing or casting moral judgement. (2 of 6)
