弗雷格被认为是当代分析哲学的奠基人之一。他受到罗素和维特根斯坦的尊敬,为谓词逻辑和语言意义分析奠定了坚实的基础。然而,与罗素和维特根斯坦不同的是,弗雷格的个性和私生活很少被公开,也很少为人所知。虽然他的作品影响广泛,但他自己却没有。

奥地利/英国哲学家路德维希·维特根斯坦(Ludwig Wittgenstein)在上个世纪中叶对哲学产生了巨大的影响。
Human thought is an amazing thing. It has given us not only science, literature, and morality, but also superstition, slavery, and war.
人类有着惊人的交流能力。通过发出声音,我们能够向周围的人传达意义。
