1. From the preface or the introduction to the Grundgesetze: Frege's report of
his own reaction upon learning from Russell of the paradox of class membership.
The paradox showed that Frege's Rule V was untenable, and his project of
establishing mathematics on a foundation of logic was doomed.
2. A sentence from some work or letter in which Frege is intent on denying the
truth of 'psychologism,' i.e. he is intent on denying that human psychology
plays any role in logic or mathematics).
3. Self-evident.
