Name/Aristotle/Geach: direct reference, no parts (Aristotle: syntactically simple) (Geach ditto) - description: indirect reference, mediation of other characters.
I 143
Calculus of Natural Deduction/Gentzen/Geach: here there are "possible names" (> "introduction of existence").
But not quantification over it.
GeachVsQuine: so he can no longer regard names as "hidden descriptions".
>Names/Quine, >Descriptions/Quine, >Theory of decriptions/Russell.
I 155
Names/Geach: knowing the causal chain is not important, but its existence. - The right to use a name can exist, even if one does not know that.
>Causal theory of names.
Russell: a proper name must name something (Geach dito).
>Names/Russell.
GeachVsRussell: but then he makes a wrong conclusion: "only a name that has to name something is a name".
Just as wrong: fallacy of "what one knows, must be" to "only what must be like this, can be known".
>Knowledge, >Truth.
I 162
Quasi-names/Geach: appear in encyclopedias, for foreign gods. - (Geach pro).
Quasi-names appear only in object position after intentional verbs. - This is no "second order existence". - There is no identy criterion to decide whether different peoples worship the same God.
>Identity criteria, >Objects of belief.
I 208
Names/Geach: whether something is a proper name does not depend on who it is given to.
Quasi quotation: is not a name. >Quasi quotation.},
