In response to Hilary Putnam’s model-theoretic argument, David Lewis proposed that this relation possesses a namesake “magnetism.” This is the first title concept of a 1962 Peter Geach book that first discussed donkey anaphora. This relation titles a book that criticizes the “photograph model” for violating Russell’s principle governing object-directed thoughts. After Keith Donnellan observed that definite descriptions have both “attributive” uses and uses (*) based on this relation, Saul Kripke posited that this relation has “speaker” and “semantic” forms. John McDowell edited and posthumously published a Gareth Evans book about the “varieties” of this relation, which attacks the “causal-historical” theory. The word Bedeutung (“beh-DOY-tung”) is taken to name this relation in translations of Gottlob Frege. For 10 points, name this relation between a name and the object that it denotes. ■END■
