David Ji
David Longfen Ji is an American businessman who co-founded Apex Digital, an electronics manufacturer.
In 2004, he was arrested in China following a dispute with Sichuan Changhong Electric, a supplier owned by the city of Mianyang and the province of Sichuan.
Changhong accused him of defrauding them through bad checks.
Ji was taken, according to an account by his lawyer, to the senior management and told, "I decide whether you live or die."
He has been held in China without charges.
Ji's case highlighted an "implicit racism" in dealings with American businessmen.
As a U.S. citizen he was not granted the same treatment by authorities as non-ethnically Chinese businessmen sharing the same nationality.
Saul Kripke
Saul Aaron Kripke( born November 13, 1940) is an American philosopher and logician.
He is a Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and emeritus professor at Princeton University.
Since the 1960s, Kripke has been a central figure in a number of fields related to mathematical logic, modal logic, philosophy of language, philosophy of mathematics, metaphysics, epistemology, and recursion theory.
Much of his work remains unpublished or exists only as tape recordings and privately circulated manuscripts.
Kripke was the recipient of the 2001 Schock Prize in Logic and Philosophy.
Kripke has made influential and original contributions to logic, especially modal logic.
His work has profoundly influenced analytic philosophy; his principal contribution is a semantics for modal logic involving possible worlds, now called Kripke semantics.
Another of his most important contributions is his argument that necessity is a" metaphysical" notion that should be separated from the epistemic notion of" a priori", and that there are necessary truths that are" a posteriori" truths, such as that water is HO.
He has also contributed an original reading of Wittgenstein, referred to as" Kripkenstein."
A 1970 Princeton lecture series, published in book form in 1980 as" Naming and Necessity", is considered one of the most important philosophical works of the twentieth century.
Mary Proctor
Mary Proctor (1862 – September 11, 1957) was an American popularizer of astronomy.
While not a professional astronomer, Proctor became well known for her books and articles written for the public – particularly her children's fiction.
Despite various claims as being an American, there is a passenger list of about 1924 where she gives nationality as British.
Descriptivist theory of names
In the philosophy of language, the descriptivist theory of proper names( also descriptivist theory of reference) is the view that the meaning or semantic content of a proper name is identical to the descriptions associated with it by speakers, while their referents are determined to be the objects that satisfy these descriptions.
Bertrand Russell and Gottlob Frege have both been associated with the descriptivist theory, which is sometimes called the Frege – Russell view.
In the 1970s, this theory came under attack from causal theorists such as Saul Kripke, Hilary Putnam and others.
However, it has seen something of a revival in recent years, especially under the form of what are called two- dimensional semantic theories.
This latter trend is exemplified by the theories of David Chalmers, among others.
Michael Fox (American actor)
