Imogen Dickie (Univ of Toronto), "Proper Names:Transition to the End Game"
Thursday, October 08, 2015, 03:00pm - 05:00pm
'Proper Names: Transition to the End Game'
Here's the abstract: I shall prove a principle which brings out the significance for accounts of aboutness and reference of the fact that justification is truth conducive; use this principle to develop an account of reference-fixing for proper names which presents an alternative to the tired menu of traditional causalisms, descriptivsims, and crosses between; and identify two questions around which the next phase in discussions of reference-fixing for proper names should be structured.
