摘要：The paper examines two possible analyses of fictional names within Pavel Tichý’s Transparent Intensional Logic.The first of them is the analysis actually proposed by Tichý in his (1988) book The Foundations of Frege’s Logic.He analysed fictional names in terms of free variables.I will introduce,explain,and assess this analysis.Subsequently,I will explain Tichý’s notion of individual role (office,thing-to-be).On the basis of this notion,I will outline and defend the second analysis of fictional names.This analysis is close to the approach known in the literature as role realism (the most prominent advocates of this position are Nicholas Wolterstorff,Gregory Currie,and Peter Lamarque).
