罗素摹状词理论的哲学意蕴

Russell's Theory of Descriptions and Its Philosophical Meaning

罗素摹状词理论的提出缘于他对迈农伪实体的解决。然而,罗素的摹状词理论主要为四个难题寻找合理的解释路径,这四个难题分别是:对非存在物的明显指称难题、否定存在难题、弗雷格的同一性疑难以及替换难题。关于名称的理论研究即使以专名和摹状词的认知及其功能为中心,但两者区分的基础是基于语义外在论的解释。

Even though the theoretical research of name is the central of recognition and its function, which between proper name and description. However, the basis of these distinguish is an explana- tion of the semantic externalism.
