Question

Two answers required. These two names are argued to have different diagonal propositions in Robert Stalnaker’s 1978 paper “Assertion.” For 10 points each:

[10h] The contrast between the presence of actual identity and lack of necessary identity between what two names was used by Saul Kripke to explain his idea of rigid designators?

ANSWER: Hesperus AND Phosphorus [or the morning star AND evening star]

[10e] Stalnaker used the example of Hesperus and Phosphorus in an influential paper in the “two-dimensional” approach to this field, the study of linguistic meaning, which is often paired with syntax.

ANSWER: semantics

[10m] Two-dimensional semantics extends a semantics based on these entities, which treat meanings as intensions that map from these entities to extensions, or referents. Modal realism holds that these entities truly exist.

ANSWER: possible worlds
