ABSTRACT
Contemporary debate over realism comes in numerous flavors. One important version of this debate focuses on reference, for many realists treat the referential relation as a natural one holding between the use of a term and the object it denotes. This relation is commonly taken as (1) causal (or supervenient on such), and (2) a real relation between speakers and the world. Part IV is concerned with referential realism in this sense; and I describe my referential realist as committed to naive naturalism.1
