Abstract
AbstractRevolves around the matter of whether the stronger results that W. V. Quine and Donald Davidson were attempting to derive from slingshot (collapsing) arguments over facts might be forthcoming if other theories of descriptions were assumed. This also provides an opportunity to evaluate various theories as potential competitors to Bertrand Russell's theory. The four sections of the chapter are: Introductory Remarks; Hilbert and Bernays (David Hilbert and Paul Bernays’ system of descriptions); Fregean Theories (Gottlob Frege's theories of description); and Strawsonian Theories (Barry Taylor's version P. F. Strawson's theory of descriptions).
