19. Language / C. Assigning Meanings / 3. Predicates

17857	We can accept Frege's idea of object without assuming that predicates have a reference [Wright,C]
	Full Idea: The heart of the problem is Frege's assumption that predicates have Bedeutungen at all; and no reason is at present evident why someone who espouses Frege's notion of object is contrained to make that assumption.
	From: Crispin Wright (Frege's Concept of Numbers as Objects [1983], 1.iv)
	A reaction: This seems like a penetrating objection to Frege's view of reference, and presumably supports the Kripke approach.
