I argue that, even if we concede such an interpretation as the correct way to understand the phenomenon, it is not sufficient to support the claim that there are cases of contingent a priori truths that provide the speaker with de re knowledge about objects that are not themselves conventional in some way.]]></p></abstract>

Argumento que, incluso si admitimos que esta interpretación es la forma correcta de comprender el fenómeno, no es suficiente para sustentar la tesis de que existen casos de verdades contingentes a priori que proporcionan al hablante conocimiento de re acerca de objetos que no son convencionales de alguna manera.]]></p></abstract>
