Naming the concept horse

Frege's rejection of singular reference to concepts is centrally implicated in his notorious paradox of the concept horse. I distinguish a number of claims in which that rejection might consist and detail the dialectical difficulties confronting the defense of several such claims. Arguably the least problematic such claim-that it is simply nonsense to say that a concept can be referred to with a singular term-has recently received a novel defense due to Robert Trueman. I set out Trueman's argument for this claim, identifying and remedying some omissions and errors of formulation therein. I then develop a response to the argument by showing, pace Trueman, that it is possible-and how it is possible-to express identities between objects and concepts.
