(addendum) Names and identity. Names assume some bearer
of the name. Names have no meaning but only refer. Knowing
an name does not mean to know anything about the person.
That why names are called ''not predicative'' .
Now what does the statement ''Peter has retiped my cart'' or
''Van den Hul has repaired my cart mean? They obviously don't
mean that someone else deed this work because we would then
say Herman deed or simple '' I have no idea who fixed my cart''.
Is this so difficult to grasp?
