Editing Sense and reference (section)

===Antisthenes===
The Greek philosopher [[Antisthenes]], a pupil of [[Socrates]], apparently distinguished "a general object that can be aligned with the meaning of the utterance” from “a particular object of extensional reference". According to Susan Prince, this "suggests that he makes a distinction between sense and reference".<ref>{{cite book|last=Prince|first=S.

# the semantic medium, δι' ὧν λέγουσι
# an object external to the semantic medium, περὶ οὗ λέγουσιν
# the direct indication of a thing, σημαίνειν ... τὸ ...<ref>Prince 2015, [https://books.google.com/books?id=i8IhCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA518 pp. 518–522] (Antisthenes' literary remains: t. 153B.1).</ref>{{rp|518–522}}
