The problem of the essential indexical
Noûs 13 (1):3-21 (1979)
Abstract
Perry argues that certain sorts of indexicals are 'essential', in the sense that they cannot be eliminated in favor of descriptions. This paper also introduces the influential idea that certain sorts of indexicals play a special role in thought, and have a special connection to action.Author's Profile
