; Reference Landmarks
: '''Frege’s 'On Sense and Reference' (1892)''' → The foundation of modern logic and the philosophy of language.
: '''Bertrand Russell’s 'On Denoting' (1905)''' → Solved the problem of how we can talk about "The King of France" (things that don't exist) without breaking logic.
: '''Kripke’s 'Naming and Necessity' (1970)''' → Overturned 2,000 years of thinking about names, arguing they are "Rigid Designators" rather than "Descriptions."
: '''The 'Turing Test'''' → Can a "Machine" understand "Meaning," or is it just "Referring" to symbols using "Rules" without any "Sense" (The 'Chinese Room' argument).
