Statement on Frege’s political views
As is now well-known among scholars, Frege kept a notebook in his later years (the so-called “Politisches Tagebuch”) in which he expresses a number of abhorrent attitudes, including anti-Semitism. We in no way endorse these ugly remarks; and we as a Society are committed to scholarship which acknowledges and helps reduce their harm.
At the same time, we believe Frege’s revolutionary contributions to logic, mathematics, and philosophy remain worthy of study. Our Society is devoted to carrying such study forward.
