Naive Metaphysics and Fregean Truth

Resumen

In this paper we will look at Frege's work under a metaphysical lens aiming to identify crucial concepts to be employed in the treatment of objectivity. After presenting the principle of epistemological simplicity and its relation to objectivity through a discussion about naive metaphysics, we analyze how meaning and truth can be employed to understand apparent reality. On the central matter of the nature of truth, we will argue that, under a naive metaphysical perspective, its indefinability is a desirable feature and that it could be advantageous to study truth in terms of an internal and an external versions of judgment. We conclude with some brief examples of applications of these notions.
