Name/proper names/Cresswell: Names could also predicates! (1985a(1), 153) maybe Pedro means "is called "Pedro"".
>Descriptions, >Predicates.
II 44
Names/meaning/bearer/Cresswell: Problem: if the meanings of the name are the bearers, then
"Quentin says that Hesperus is Phosphorus"
should mean the same as
"Quentin says Phosphorus is Phosphorus."
(Attribution of propositional attitudes).
>Propositional attitudes, >Morning star/evening star, >Identity.
II 152
Name/VsDescription-Theory/Cresswell: e.g. a description "the thing that is called "Phosphorus"" singles out a whole class of things. - Therefore it is ambiguous.
>Ambiguity, >Definite descriptions, >Phosphorus/Hesperus.
