Description/acquaintance/Russell/Field: according to Russell: "analytical connection" between description and acquaintance.
>Acquaintance.
Problem/FieldVsRussell: this is circular, because the reference of descriptions is explained by reference to their parts - they will include names.
>Proper names.
RussellVsTradition: you can only give a lecture on something that can be defined from the logically basic concepts. - E.g. "If Cicero existed, then he denounced Catiline".

>Contingency, >Necessity, >Facts.
