The document discusses the semantics of proper names and their role in modal contexts, challenging Saul Kripke's thesis that names are rigid designators. It introduces the concept of 'relational modality', which posits that names contribute to modal contexts based on their actual world reference rather than their intension. The authors argue that this approach better explains common intuitions about modal reasoning compared to rigidity accounts, allowing for flexibility in how names function across different contexts, including propositional attitudes and mixed modalities.
