Abstract:
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.
