Peter Thomas Geach
(1916-2013)

Polemical English Catholic logician and moral philosopher, who was professor at Leeds from 1966 to 1981.

Geach's notable work on logical theory includes "Reference and Generality: An Examination of some Modern and Medieval Theories" (1962) and "Logic Matters" (1972).

Geach also translated and edited many of the writings of Frege, while moral and theological concerns are visible in his "God and the Soul" (1969).

Geach's deployment of points due to Frege against "Expressivism" -- "the Geach Point" -- have been much debated.

See Frege-Geach argument.
