Om mig
Anders Schoubye is Docent in philosophy at Stockholm University. He completed his PhD in philosophy at the University of St Andrews under the supervision of Herman Cappelen, Jonathan Schaffer, and Josh Dever in 2011. After finishing his PhD, Schoubye accepted a two-year position as Mellon postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University, but was hired the year after as a lecturer in the philosophy department at the University of Edinburgh. Schoubye spent seven years in Edinburgh before accepting his current position in Stockholm.
Schoubye specializes in the philosophy of language, formal semantics, and logic, but his interests extend to topics in formal epistemology, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics. Schoubye has published papers on a variety of different topics, e.g. the semantics and pragmatics of definite descriptions and proper names, future contingents, linguistic underdetermination, and question sensitivity. He is currently working on a monograph on proper names. Schoubye also has a side interest in select issues in applied ethics.

Names Are Variables
2020. Anders J. Schoubye. Philosophical Review 129 (1), 53-94
ArtikelLäs mer om Names Are VariablesMILLIANISM and DESCRIPTIVISM are without question the two most prominent views with respect to the semantics of proper names. However, debates between MILLIANS and DESCRIPTIVISTS have tended to focus on a fairly narrow set of linguistic data and an equally narrow set of problems, mainly how to solve with Frege's puzzle and how to guarantee rigidity. In this article, the author focuses on a set of data that has been given less attention in these debates—namely, so-called predicative uses, bound uses, and shifted uses of names. The author first shows that these data points seem to favor a DESCRIPTIVIST view over a MILLIAN view, but the author then introduces an alternative view of names that not only provides a simple and elegant way of dealing with the data, but also retains rigidity without becoming subject to the problems raised by Frege's puzzle. This is the view that names are variables, also called VARIABILISM.
