Reflexiones sobre el Nombrar a Partir de la Comprensión del Lenguaje de Saul Kripke

The problem of naming treated by several authors in the framework of the philosophy of language is analyzed. It seeks to give an answer to the possible interchangeability proposed by several philosophers on the subject of names and descriptions, the need of propositions to determine references, and the conventionality of language when attributing meanings to names; in addition, an analysis is made of sense and meaning in propositions and how, for some philosophers, meaning is found only in the plot of the proposition, and not outside it or in the name. To this end, two problematizing questions are formulated: Are names and descriptions interchangeable elements, or does each one have its specificity in language? And do names have their own meaning or do they require referential elements that are necessary for the attribution of meaning? The ideas that guide the reflection are taken, for the most part, from Saul Kripke's Naming and Necessity.
