This work features a comprehensive exploration of semantics and the role of proper names in thought processes. The introduction discusses the interplay between experience and thinking semantics, while subsequent sections delve into the restricted-variable/retrieval view of proper names, the semiotics of experience, and foundational concepts related to objects, existence, and reference. The critique section includes various responses and discussions on the usage and meaning of proper names, addressing their unique characteristics as restricted personal pronouns and their relation to singular reference and variables. Further examination includes the relationship between demonstrative reference and perception, alongside insights into indexical thinking and its executional role. Theoretical perspectives on reference are contrasted with historical frameworks, such as the Ptolemaic and Copernican theories. The work also addresses existence and forms of predication, exploring concepts like guises and intentionality, and their implications for understanding reality. Contributions from various authors provide a rich dialogue on these themes, culminating in a bibliography and comprehensive indices. This collection serves as a significant resource for understanding the complexities of thought, reference, and existence within philosophical discourse.
