摘要

在《命名与必然性》一书中,克里普克引入了刚性指示符的概念,认为专有名称是刚性指示符。他认为,在这一点上,它们不同于典型的确定描述(尽管他允许某些确定描述,例如,“彩票的实际赢家”,“3的平方”,是严格的指示)。他的反对者要么认为名字可以被视为严格描述的缩写(例如,“实际的”名字),要么试图否认名字是严格的指示物。我认为没有任何明确的描述是非刚性的。所有明确的描述都是严格的。在描述中出现的非刚性只是一种幻觉,一种模棱两可的表现。然后,我将继续说明将刚性/非刚性区分从单数术语扩展到谓词时所遇到的困难。

All Designators are Rigid
Abstract In Naming and Necessity Kripke introduces the concept of a rigid designator and argues that proper names are rigid designators. He argues that in this way they are different from typical definite descriptions (though he allows that some definite descriptions, e.g., ‘the actual winner of the lottery’, ‘the square of 3’, are rigid designators). His opponents have either argued that names can be regarded as abbreviations of rigid descriptions (e.g., ‘actualized’ ones) or have tried to deny that names are rigid designators. I shall argue that no unambiguous descriptions are non-rigid. All unambiguous descriptions are rigid. The appearance of non-rigidity in descriptions is simply an illusion, a manifestation of ambiguity. I shall then go on to show that an explanation of the difficulty which has been found in extending the rigid/non-rigid distinction from singular terms to predicates follows.
