If the task of philosophy is to break the domination of words over the human mind … then my … notation … can be … useful … for philosophers

Gottlob Frege, Begriffsschrift, 1879 (via isomorphismes)

wat.

are all those triple dots ellipses, or are they actually in the text?

if #1 then what the heck does the full quote look like

(via proofsaretalk)

With the ellipses in place, I can’t help but envision Frege as a JRPG character, delivering this as a final parting monologue after collapsing from a tragic, fatal wound

(via nostalgebraist)

(Ha ha, also you realize there is a fucking TON of German philosophy in JRPGs)
