 This descriptivist problem presents itself as a potential challenge to any antirealist view that endorses a de dicto reading of sentences like  (6I)  and  (4F)  /  (5F).  For how else, if not in terms of some kind of descriptivist view of names like Russell’s, are we to understand such de dicto readings? If names are instead taken to be directly referential—that is, if they are taken to be terms that do not secure their reference by means of descriptive meanings—there seems to be no room left for a de dicto as opposed to a de re reading of such sentences, and, consequently, no room for the thought that sentences containing (allegedly) empty names like “Apollo” even have truth-conditions.
