Saul A. Kripke on Naming - Dictionary of Arguments
III 380 Designation/Kripke: designation has nothing to do with existence: wrong question: "Does ___ live on Mars?" and then insert name. ((s) The substitutional quantification: would be satisfied by name, because it refuses an ontology that goes beyond its expressions.) >Existence/Kripke. --- Kripke I 121 Designation does not create identity: Phosphorus/Hesperus has the same epistemic situation named as different celestial bodies - it is quite possible, therefore contingent, but does not affect the actual identity. We use them as names in all possible worlds. >Identity/Kripke, >Morning star/evening star, >Possible world/Kripke. I 134 Geach: designation reflects something important: Nixon = human (a priori). KripkeVs: e.g. Lot’s guests are Angles despite designation. Difference: there is a difference in the use of the name/designation. This is no case of indeterminacy of reference. >Indeterminacy, >Inscrutability of reference, >Reference/Kripke._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
