Question

In a paper titled for these things, Gareth Evans cites an anecdote about Madagascar as a counterexample to the idea that these things undergo an “initial baptism” in a causal theory of a certain process. A 1970 Princeton lecture on these things used the example of Gödel stealing the incompleteness theorem from Schmidt to argue against John Searle’s cluster theory and other descriptivist (10[1])theories of these things. J. S. Mill’s view that these things are non-connotative was rejected by Gottlob Frege, who claimed that they possess a “sense.” One book argues that these things must refer to the (10[1])same entity in (10[1])all possible worlds and terms them (10[1])“rigid designators.” That book by Saul (10[1])Kripke is titled for these things “and Necessity.” (10[1])For 10 points, what (10[1])words are used (10[2])to refer (10[1])to objects?
