5. Theory of Logic / F. Referring in Logic / 1. Naming / b. Names as descriptive

15599	Cicero/Cicero and Cicero/Tully may differ in relationship, despite being semantically the same [Fine,K]
	Full Idea: There may be a semantic relationship between 'Cicero' and 'Cicero' that does not hold between 'Cicero' and 'Tully', despite the lack of an intrinsic semantic difference between the names themselves.
	From: Kit Fine (Semantic Relationism [2007], 2.E)
	A reaction: This is the key idea of Fine's book, and a most original and promising approach to a rather intractable problem in reference. He goes on to distinguish names which are 'strictly' coreferential (the first pair) from those that are 'accidentally' so.
