It was reprinted, in both a special 2005 anniversary issue of the same journal and in Russell's "Logic and Knowledge", 1956. The essay is one of the most significant and influential philosophical essays of the 20th century. In it, Russell introduces definite and indefinite descriptions, formulates descriptivism with regard to proper names, and characterises proper names as "disguised" or "abbreviated" definite descriptions. In the 1920s, Frank P. Ramsey referred to the essay as "that paradigm of philosophy". In the "Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy" entry "Descriptions", Peter Ludlow singled the essay out as ""the" paradigm of philosophy", and called it a work of "tremendous insight"; provoking discussion and debate among philosophers of language and linguists for over a century.
