BETİMLEMECİ VE NEDENSEL KURAM ARASINDA: DÜŞÜNCELERİN DİLE-GETİRİLMESİ

Year 2019, Issue: 28, 345 - 368, 29.12.2019

Abstract

ÖZ

 

Özel isimler kısaltılmış belirli betimlemelerdir. Literatürde bu Betimlemeci Kuram’ın önemli bir özelliği olarak bilinir. Bu tez her ne kadar ilk bakışta sağduyusal-sezgilerimize hitap etse de Kripke’nin modal argümanından çıkan eleştiriden fazlasıyla payını almıştır. Bu makalenin ilk bölümünde, Betimlemeci Kuram’ı ana hatları ile, özellikle makalenin merkeze aldığı sorun bağlamında sunacağım. İkinci bölümde, Kripke’nin Betimlemeci Kuram hakkındaki tespit ve eleştirilerini ve meseleye dair kendi alternatif yaklaşımını sunacağım. Son bölümde ise, Kripke’nin önerisinin aslında bir açıdan bakıldığında onun daha öncesinde Betimlemeci Kuram’da eleştirdiği bir noktanın hedefi olması nedeniyle sorunlu olduğunu iddia edeceğim. 

Anahtar Kelimeler: Özel İsim, Betimlemeci Kuram, Nedenselci-Tarihselci Kuram, Yönelimsellik, Niyet Hali

BETWEEN DESCRIPTIVE AND CAUSAL THEORY: EXPRESSION OF THOUGHTS

Year 2019, Issue: 28, 345 - 368, 29.12.2019

Abstract

What is the function of proper names? According to the Descriptivist Theory
(DT), proper names are in fact abbreviated definite descriptions. They provide a
linguistic shortcut for speaking about the object, a shortcut that replaces a long
definite description depicting the distinguishing feature or features of the object
from other objects. Is this intuitive view correct or does it actually involve a
fundamental mistake? In the beginning of this article, I will present the outlines of
the DT, particularly within the context of the central issue evaluated in this essay.
In the second section, I will explain some of Kripke’s remarks and criticisms about
the DT and his alternative approach for the matter. In the last section, I will argue
for the claim that Kripke’s proposal, when approached from a certain perspective,
becomes a target for his own criticism, which actually aimed to reveal the failures
in the DT. Hence it is quite problematic.
