- 1999, William C. Dowling, The Senses of the Text (page 47)Intensionalism in modern logic and linguistics begins in the way he demonstrated the point. For as "the Morning Star" and "the Evening Star" have different senses—i.e., objective linguistic content—so do statements.
- 2004, Jerrold J. Katz, Sense, Reference, and Philosophy (page 115)It is sometimes supposed that extensional propositions—in particular Russellian propositions, which are adopted in some neo-Millian views about proper names—are incompatible with intensionalism and presuppositionalism.
