浅论自然语言的名称——《命名与必然性》读后感

On Names in Natural Language——Some Ideas after Reading "Naming and Necessity"

在我们的日常生活中,我们会用语言来表达感情交流思想,其中必然会涉及到各种各样的名称。我们之所以能对各种的名称达成共识、承认外延相同的不同名称的等同,前者的原因在于名称的由来、后者的原因在于二者的同一性。克里普克对此作了详细的解释。但显然他的一些论断是片面的。

n ordinary life, we use language to express our emotions and to commune that with that others, which must employ many kinds of names. We can come to agreement on many kinds of names and admit that different names whose extensions are equivalent are equal, the former's reason is the origin of names, the latter's is their equation. Kripke explains it carefully, but obviously, his theory is unilateral.
