In his writings on logic and the philosophy of mathematics Frege sometimes drew upon similes and metaphors from optics. The author argues that he was knowingly drawing upon a tradition of his time in which logic and optics intersected over questions such as (non-)sensory sources of knowledge. He outlines some of the theories proposed by H. von Helmholtz and Johannes Mueller. A nice footnote about the optician Ernst Abbe, who had supervised Frege's second doctorate, does not tie in with its text on p. 366.
