Klappentext zu „Orilia, F: SINGULAR REF A DESCRIPTIVIST P “

Singular reference is the relation that a singular term has to a corresponding individual. For example, "Obama" singularly refer to the current US president. Descriptivism holds that all singular terms refer by means of a concept associated to the term. The current trend is against this. This book explains in detail (mainly for newcomers) why anti-descriptivism became dominant in spite of its weaknesses and (for experts) how these weaknesses can be overcome by appropriately reviving descriptivism.

Rezension zu „Orilia, F: SINGULAR REF A DESCRIPTIVIST P “

"This book advances a contextualist descriptivist account of singular reference, along the lines of "token-reflexive" and "causal-descriptivist" proposals already in the literature. The book is very clear, economical and well-structured; the view, which Orilia defends from criticisms with clear-headed arguments, is certainly one worth having as consistently articulated here in the theoretical landscape; and the author argues for the comparative strength vis-à-vis the different explanatory burdens of such an account in a very compelling way."Prof. Manuel Garcia-Carpintero, Department of Logic, History and Philosophy of Science, University of Barcelona
