Tribe Called

Famous quotes containing the words tribe and/or called:

    Good God, the souls of all my tribe defend
    From jealousy!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Let’s call something a rigid designator if in every possible world it designates the same object, a non-rigid or accidental designator if that is not the case. Of course we don’t require that the objects exist in all possible worlds.... When we think of a property as essential to an object we usually mean that it is true of that object in any case where it would have existed. A rigid designator of a necessary existent can be called strongly rigid.
    Saul Kripke (b. 1940)
