Book review: Predelli, S. proper names: A millian account [Book Review]
Manuscrito 41 (2):137-147 (2018)
Abstract
ABSTRACT In this review I discuss Stefano Predelli’s book Proper Names: A Millian Account. The book provides a defense of the traditional Millian view according to which proper names are non-indexical, rigid devices of direct reference. In addition, Predelli discusses some usual interpretations as misconceptions and it contests many common objections. I provide an overview of its chapters and consider some of its strengths and weaknesses.Author's Profile
