II 116
Cross-World Identity/rigidity/HintikkaVsKripke: cross-world identity is more about the way of identification (public >perspective) than about rigidity or non-rigidity.
The way of identification decides what counts as one and the same individual.
>Identification.
HintikkaVsKripke: Kripke's concept of rigidity is implicitly founded on Russell's notion of the logical proper name. There is, however, no excellent class of rigid expression terms.
>Logical proper names.
Proper Names/names/HintikkaVsKripke: proper names are by no means always rigid. E.g. it may be that I do not know to whom the name N.N. refers. Then I have different epistemic alternatives, with different referents. Therefore, it makes sense to ask "Who is N.N.?".
Public/perspective/identification/Russell/Kripke/Hintikka: Russell focuses on the perspective.
II 117
Kripke/Hintikka: Kripke focuses on the public identification.
