General terms, rigidity and the trivialization problem

Genoveva MartíJosé Martínez-Fernández

pp. 277-293

Abstrakt

We defend the view that defines the rigidity of general terms as sameness of designated universal across possible worlds from the objection that such a characterization is incapable of distinguishing rigid from non-rigid readings of general terms and, thus, that it trivializes the notion of rigidity. We also argue that previous attempts to offer a solution to the trivialization problem do no succeed.
