Frege II 65
Identity/Frege: e.g. a = b: the meaning of "a" is the same as that of "b". But the sense of "b" is different from that of "a". >judgment, >epistemological value, >non-trivial identity.

Dummett III 70f
Identity/VsFrege/Dummett: (informative/uninformative) example a = b: some: in order to understand this, you need to know: if it is true - that it is true. Important argument: then it does not provide information. FregeVs: there is no need to know if two expressions designate the same object if you understand the expressions. ((s) You can also know the "general" reference.) - ((s) The intentions may just be different.)
>Way of givenness, >Intension.

Frege II 40
Identity/statement/assertion of identity/identity statement/Frege: E.g. a = b: does not say anything about signs, but about objects. Otherwise, no insight would be expressed by this, because signs are arbitrary anyway. So it is not about "a" and "b" meaning the same thing. That would be a statement about signs. ((s) Instead: that they are different modes of givenness of the same object (the manner of givenness/(s): is not the sign).
II 65
Identity/Frege: a = b: the meaning of "a" is the same as that of "b". But the sense of "b" is different from that of "a". Identity/Frege: identity has the same meaning but a different sense. Notion: therefore, the thought expressed by "a = a" is different from that expressed by "a = b".
>Thoughts, >Equal sign, >Copula.
