An Intensional Solution to the Bike Puzzle of Intentional Identity

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In a 2005 paper Ólafur Páll Jónsson presents a puzzle that turns on intentional identity and definite descriptions. He considers eight solutions and rejects them all, thus leaving the puzzle unsolved. In this paper I put forward a solution. The puzzle isthis. Little Lotta wants most of all a bicycle for her birthday, but she gets none. Distracted by the gifts she does receive, she at first does not think about the bike. But when seeing her tricycle, she is reminded of the bike. The question is how we are to analyse these two occurrences of 'the bike' in the absence of a unique bike that Lotta wants. So the semantics of 'the bike' needs to be spelt out, and it must be made explicit what the complements of Lotta?s attitudes are. My analysis shows that the attributer's usage of 'the bike' blurs the distinction between a second-order and a first-order intension (a property concept and a property, respectively).
