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)
The point is rather to demonstrate carefully by means of detailed evidence that there are numerous (over 100) and extensive parallels in formulation and content between the Stoics and Frege, so plentiful that one would be hard pressed to brush them off as a coincidence. (3 of 6)
