"Proper names are rigid designators"

In this quote, thinker Saul Kripke is talking about the idea of. He argues that , such as "John" or "London," have actually a repaired and changeless significance. This means that they constantly describe the very same individual, location, or thing, no matter the context or period. Kripke describes these names as "stiff designators" because they rigidly designate a particular referent. This is in contrast to other words, which may have different significances depending on the context. Kripke's theory difficulties conventional views of language and meaning, and has had a substantial impact on the fields of linguistics and approach.
