	Language Log: An informative tautology
		The intension of an expression is the set of properties taken to be characteristic of it.
		The classic example of an informative tautology is "Hesperus (the evening star) is Phosphorus (the morning star)." This is a tautology since Hesperus and Phosphorus are both the planet Venus - the two expressions thus have the same extension.
		It is, nonetheless, informative, because the intensions of the morning star and the evening star are different and we learn something when we are informed that they are actually the same heavenly body.

		One virtue of Quine’s relational (or de re) reading of a belief report is that the singular terms retain their ordinary reference and can be freely substituted for each other.
		Let us suppose that Adam does not know that Hesperus (the evening star, Venus) is identical to Phosphorus (the morning star, Venus).
		If so, then substitution yields (4) once again, for if Ralph believes that X appears in the morning, and X is identical to Hesperus, then Lois believes that Hesperus appears in the morming.

	Philosophy Now
		In Naming and Necessity Kripke cites examples of certain truths that are ‘necessary a posteriori’ – necessary truths that are discovered empirically; and of certain other truths that are ‘contingent a priori’ – propositions which might have been false, but whose truth is knowable a priori.
		Kripke found a truth that is necessary a posteriori by revisiting Frege’s puzzle about the identity statement “Phosphorus (the morning star) is Hesperus (the evening star).” The statement’s truth was discovered a posteriori, when both the names were found to refer to the one thing, namely the planet Venus.
		If it was ever true that Phosphorus is identical to Hesperus, then it is always and necessarily true.

		Venus is furthest from the Earth at superior conjunction, which is equivalent to the opposition aspect and the Full Moon phase of the lunation cycle.
		The superior conjunction inaugurates the hemicycle in which Venus plays the role of the Evening Star, Hesperus, which means western.
		In the evening star phase, maximum elongation occurs 216 days after the superior conjunction; maximum brightness takes place thirty-six days following maximum elongation and thirty-six days more brings the inferior conjunction.
