Ph.D. University of Michigan. Ricketts works in the History of Analytic Philosophy, Wittgenstein, Philosophy of Logic, and Philosophy of Language. He frequently teaches logic. His research focuses on the development of analytic philosophy, concentrating on the figures whose work defines a central strand of that tradition--Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Rudolf Carnap, and W.V. Quine. He is currently working on a comprehensive study of Frege's philosophy.
