This book deals with the main proponents of the causal and
descriptivist reference theories on natural kind terms. The two
main types of contemporary reference theories on natural kind terms
are the causal and the descriptivist theories. The author analyzes
the main versions of these two types of theories and claims that
the differences between them are not as great as it is usually
assumed. He alleges that the ostensive reference fixing and
reference borrowing theories should be descriptive-causal, and he
also adduces that the relation of kind-identity depends on the
views on kind-identity and thus involves descriptive elements. This
book is an important contribution to the debate on reference in
contemporary philosophy of language and linguistics.
