Title:<\/strong> Second-Order Abstraction Before And After Russell’s Paradox<\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong> In this talk, I analyze several aspects of Frege\u2019s paradigms of second-order abstraction: Axiom V and Hume\u2019s Principle. The issues dealt with include self-evidence and epistemic (non-)triviality with particular emphasis on Axiom V, Frege\u2019s attitude towards Axiom V before and after Russell\u2019s discovery of the contradiction, as well as the possible role and the status of Hume\u2019s Principle in the face of Russell\u2019s Paradox. In the central part, I pursue a threefold aim: (a) to shed new light on the connection between Frege\u2019s way of introducing the primitive function-names of his logical system and the requisite self-evidence of his axioms in whose expression such a function-name occurs; (b) to analyze the semantic nature of the (formal) linguistic expression of Axiom V, and (c) to examine the conflict between the requirements of self-evidence and real epistemic value or genuine knowledge arising inevitably and invariably from Fregean abstraction principles, if they are singled out as axioms of a theory T.<\/p>\n
