Rigidity and Inconsistent Beliefs

In this paper I will discus William Lycan’s objection to Fregeans who grant name’s rigidity, explaining it by the appeal to rigidity of other expressions (descriptions or predicates). Lycan argues that proponents of such a view face the same problem of reconciling the truth of particular propositional attitude reports with agent’s rationality, as anti-Fregeans, i.e. Millians do. I will analyse Lycan’s objection and argue that it fails to threaten such Fregeans.
