Recent Defenses of Descriptivism
Mind and Language 20 (1):103-139 (2005)
Abstract
David Sosa, Michael Nelson, and Jason Stanley have recently offered a series of interesting and provocative challenges to Kripke's modal arguments against Descriptivism. In this paper I explore these challenges and some of the issues to which they give rise. I argue that, in the end, all three challenges fail.Author's Profile
