Synopsis

This book takes an approach to the perennial problems of reference and singular terms by separating the underlying issues into different levels of analysis. The split-level approach includes an account of singular thought, a systematic application of recent work in the theory of speech acts, and a partial revival of Russell's analysis of singular terms. Criticisms of competing views are provided as well.

Bach's philosophical good sense and detailed suggestions should stimulate all philosophers concerned with issues about names, descriptions and pronominal reference. (Philosophical Books)

it stimulates and illuminates (Times Literary Supplement)

a model of clarity (Mind)
