Does Saul Kripke grow roses?

Question

and if he gave them another name would they smell as sweet?

Answer 1

It's not that Saul grows roses, but that his wife is a Shakespeare enthusiast, and that she, of necessity, would be unchanging regardless of the naming conventions used.

Proof of this is demonstrated in the "pet-name" lemma, whereby the assumptions of endearing conventions are not necessary to identify one's significant other.

You need to study your Kripke, Romance Lemma's, and Shakespeare in order to clarify your understanding of this subject.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

Saul grows roses in another world and only withen his mind. And of course his roses would smell sweet, sweet... no matter what he named them.
