^{page 10 note 1} In this discussion I have made the unargued assumption that proper names have a meaning as well as a reference. I am aware that this is controversial. The thrust of my argument, however, has focused on the issue of identity of reference, and barely touched the question of meaning. Thus, even if it were convincingly demonstrated that proper names have strictly no meaning whatsoever, I believe I have provided a sufficiently plausible set of arguments to demonstrate identity of reference between ‘God’ and ‘the Tao’.
