Question

This work claims to resolve a paradox from Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations by analyzing the statement “Stick S is one meter long at t.” This book distinguishes between building a table out of ice from the Thames River (15[1])and discovering that an existing table is actually made of ice. The third section (15[1])of this work argues that gold could appear non-yellow, through an optical illusion, but must have atomic number 79. (15[1])This book proposes a model in which an initial (*) “baptism” leads to a “causal (10[1])chain.” Consisting of three lectures delivered at Princeton in (10[1])1970, (10[1])this work (10[1])rejects the Russell-Frege theory (10[1])and tragically proposes that (10[1])“Richard Nixon” (10[1])refers to the same person in all possible worlds. For 10 (10[1])points, the claim that proper names are “rigid designators” is found (10[1])in what series of lectures by Saul Kripke? ■END■
