Name the author of the article 'On Denoting' :
Answer: C
'On Denoting' was written by Russell.
Bertrand Russell's article, published in Mind in 1905, set out his theory of descriptions: phrases like 'the present King of France' are not names but are analysed away into quantified statements. It became a paradigm of philosophical analysis.
Frege's related paper is 'On Sense and Reference' (1892), which Russell criticises in 'On Denoting'. Quine and Davidson wrote later, building on Russell's theory.
