The Notion of Rigid Designator Soumen Roy, Assistant Professor, Department of Philosophy, Netaji Mahavidyalaya, West Bengal, India. | |
'Designators’. That means they have the same reference in all possible worlds. That implies they have similar reference in every single imaginable world. Likewise to Kripke, the capability of a legitimate name is basically to assign a particular person. It assigns an individual not in excellence of its being the person which has specific properties, yet just qua that particular person. Assuming the person that a legitimate name assigns had a few properties unique in relation to the properties it really has, the appropriate name would in any case assign that person. For Kripke, a legitimate name is an unbending designator as in its reference in all potential universes is resolved by means of its reference in the genuine world, or that it assigns similar person in every conceivable world. In the event that an articulation assigns different person in various potential universes, the articulation is non-rigid. In this paper I shall try to explain the notion of rigid designator in Kripke’s philosophy. | |
