Proper Names explores the aims and scope of the Millian approach to
the semantics of proper names. Stefano Predelli covers the core
semantic aspects of Millianism, and develops them against the
background of an independently motivated pre-semantic picture,
grounded on the distinction between meaning and use. Accordingly,
the volume defends Millianism from certain popular misconceptions
and criticisms, it highlights its explanatory potential, and it
tackles a variety of traditional philosophical problems from its
viewpoint. In particular, Predelli discusses the relationships
between co-referential names, the issue of non truth-conditional
meaning for proper names, the role of onomastics in a theory of the
use of names, the phenomenon of empty names, cases of so-called
fictional names and names from myth and false scientific theories,
and apparently predicative uses of proper names.
