必然性与本质之间的层次关系辨析

An Analysis of the Relations between Necessity and Essence

以非严格标示词、严格标示词与强严格标示词的区分为基础,克里普克对必然性进行了深入地探讨。同样,克里普克对本质的探讨也是以标示词的明确区分为基础的。因此,本质与必然性应当具有密切的关系。的确,以必然性的层次和克里普克关于本质的论述为基础,可以进一步对克里普克的"本质"概念做出精细的层次辨析。

The division, between non-rigid designator, rigid designator and strong rigid designator, associates closely with Kripke＇s discussion about the concept of necessity. Similarly, he discussed essence basing on the division of designators. Therefore, essence should have close relation with designator. Indeed, basing on different hierarchies of necessity and on Kripke＇s disclission about essence, we can further give a hierarchical analysis of his concept of essence.
