Quote by Strawson, Peter Frederick
"Reference is not achieved by description alone, but by the speaker's intention and use."
More from Strawson, Peter Frederick
"The concept of a person is not to be analysed in terms of the concept of an animated body or of a animated organism."
"To identify particulars is, in part, to use identifying descriptive phrases."
"We must give an account of the concept of a person as a primitive concept."
"Language and linguistic communication depend on the concepts and thoughts users of language have and communicate."
