The article refers directly to Saul Kripke’s well-known work Naming and Necessity and it presents reflections on issues discussed in the book in question that are usually considered in logic courses offered to students of philosophy. The particular subject of reflection is the claim that any identity between proper names, if it holds, must be necessary. An attempt is made to explain how, in this context, one can understand necessity, the role of proper names, and what is involved in the relationship of identity, because the Kripke’s proposals are not always based on a definitive refutation of objections raised by opponents of his solutions.
