TY - JOUR ID - 1386752 AU - Raclavský, Jiří PY - 2017 TI - The Modal Argument against Nominal Description Theory JF - Kriterion - Journal of Philosophy VL - 31 IS - 1 SP - 77-100 EP - 77-100 SN - 10198288 KW - Nominal Description Theory KW - modal argument KW - Millianism UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/krt-2017-310106 N2 - The paper examines Loar’s and Bach’s defence of Nominal Description Theory against Kripkean Modal Argument (MA). Using formal tools of hyperintensional logic, I discriminate three kinds of nominal description which are possible substitutes for a proper name, thus considering various readings of the MA. On its natural understanding, the MA is valid – contrary to what Loar and Bach say. On the other hand, the soundness of the MA remains doubtful, as pointed out already by Loar and Bach. ER -
