Abstract

This is a comment on Gómez-Torrente’s approach to natural kinds and natural kind terms. Here I will focus on his concerns related to the arbitrariness argument and his attempt to formulate a reply to it that maintains most (if not all) of the “Kripke-Putnam orthodoxy” when it comes to the reference-fixing of such terms. Gómez-Torrente concludes that ordinary kind terms have distinct referents from scientific terms. I will challenge one of the premises that he employs in reaching this conclusion: namely, that the difference in determinacy profiles between ordinary natural kinds and scientific kinds is enough to assume that the terms referring to them do not share their referents. I also suggest that some kind of contextual interpretation of natural kind terms might provide a nice explanation of those determinacy

自然种类与我们的语义直觉
这是对Gómez-Torrente对自然种类和自然种类术语的方法的评论。在这里,我将重点关注他对随意性论点的关注,以及他试图制定一个回答,以维持大部分(如果不是全部的话)“克里普克-普特南正统”,当涉及到这些术语的指称固定时。Gómez-Torrente得出结论,普通的善良术语与科学术语有不同的所指。我将挑战他在得出这一结论时所使用的一个前提:即,普通自然种类和科学种类之间的确定性轮廓的差异足以假设,指称它们的术语并不共享它们的指称物。我还认为,对自然类术语的某种语境解释可能会很好地解释这些确定性
