Third Reich (Frege)
In the essay The Thought of 1918 by the German philosopher and mathematician Gottlob Frege , the expression Third Reich describes a logical area of reality in which what he believes to be objective thoughts are located:
- Thoughts are neither things of the outside world nor representations.
- A third kingdom (in the sense of the three worlds doctrine ) must be recognized. What belongs to this agrees with the idea that it cannot be perceived with the senses, but with things that there is no need for a carrier to whose consciousness it belongs. So is z. For example, the thought we uttered in the Pythagorean theorem is timelessly true, regardless of whether someone thinks it is true. He doesn't need a carrier. It has not only been true since it was discovered, how a planet interacted with other planets even before anyone saw it.
With the argument that otherwise there could be no intersubjectivity , Frege postulates a "third realm" in addition to the realm of subjective ideas and that of "objectively real" physical objects: that of "objectively non-real" thoughts. They are captured by consciousness, but not produced.
