Abstract
It is easy to think of Frege as having offered two unintentionally discordant
criteria for the identity of senses—one tied to the truth conditions of
sentences, and one meant to capture relations of cognitive discriminability.
This reading, however, is doubly mistaken; the discord between
these two ways of thinking of senses has a Fregean resolution, but neither
the resolution nor either of the original two pictures affords a genuine criterion for the identity of senses.
