Book Synopsis Rigid Designation and Theoretical Identities by : Joseph LaPorte
Book excerpt: Joseph LaPorte offers an original account of the connections between the reference of words for properties and kinds, and theoretical identity statements. He argues that terms for properties, as well as for concrete objects, are rigid designators, and defends the Kripkean tradition of theoretical identities.
