Both faggots. Have to go with Russel.

Frege. He may have been a massive racist but at least he wasn't intellectually dishonest, affecting the course of western philosophy up to the present day.

Also, Frege actually revolutionised logic. The Principia was an unfortunate failure.

What did frege do for logic? I'm not asking sarcastically, I don't actually know what he did, I thought Boole was the main revolutioniser
>>
aristotle

the rest is idle chatter
>>
>>7742196
Boole had gathered all the work done by Aristotle, the Stoics, and the Medievals, messed with it for a while and gave it a more mathematical flavour. Frege, on the other hand, extended Boole's system by inventing quantifiers which have become to permeate all modern and contemporary mathematics.

>by inventing quantifiers
this is aristotle, no ?
>>
>>7743987
Aristotle didn't have quantifiers, only the central basics of T or F propositions. IIRC. Frege was the first one to bring it to a truly mathematical level.

As if I wouldn't just partake in both of them for the sheer pleasure of the matter?
