Answer the following questions in regard of Russell’s theory:

Question one: „Peter Pan is an angel of death who guides dead children to the after-world.“ Is this a denoting phrase? If so, what is it denoting?

Question two:  Why should one abandon the view that the denotation is what is concerned in prepositions which contain denoting phrases?

Question three: Why can we make out of any proposition a denoting phrase, which denotes an entity if the proposition is true (and why not if the proposition is false)?

Question Four: What is Russell’s conception of identity?
