15 April 2017 - real names

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

The “real name”? I deny the implicit reification. This brook has a name which is less than 200 years old; before then it was called different names; centuries ago it was named in other languages. What makes any of the names real? All names are imaginary. I will call it Big Enough For a Whale.
