The article deals with the analysis of untraslatability in terms of modal logic with identity. In the centre of the approach is the idea that generic names in natural languages have at least three functions: predication, description and identification. Untranslatability is considered, following Lotman, as a problem of linguistic communication. A structural similarity is stated between the semiotic problem of untranslatability and Jean Laplanche's psychoanalytic concept of the unconscious as inexpressible. The author introduces logic of name identifications with variable domain of objects, plural names and two kinds of designators. This logic combines the main features of Priest's modal theory of identity with elements of the Lesniewski's Ontology. The logic of name identification is applied to the analysis of untraslatabilities and of the problem of identification of intentional objects. The article ends with discussing the translation of untranslatables as a specific method of philosophical enquiry.

The article analyses two peculiarities of analytic philosophy most often chosen today as an object of criticism by its opponents: lack of interest in the real world (horror mundi) and avoiding the subject (horror sui). The relation is explored between linguistic nominalism, typical for certain period of development of analytic philosophy in the 20th century, and Richard Rorty’s pragmatic ethnocentrism. It is shown that Rorty articulates the “metaphysical fears” of analytic philosophy better than analytic philosophy itself. It is argued that these “metaphysical fears” can be overcome on the ground of methodological personalism and modal realism.

Aristotle held the opinion that “Being is said in many ways”. The aim of this paper is to find out the extent to which contemporary modal metaphysics supports this opinion. I assert that the structure of modal semantics that presupposes a diversity of possible worlds somehow related to the actual world as the exemplar, reproduces the Aristotelian conception of Being in relation to one. This Aristotelian resource of contemporary modal metaphysics most properly reveals itself in classical possibilism and modal Meinongianism.

Аристотель вважав, що «про суще говорять у різноманітні способи». Мета цієї доповіді — дослідити, якою мірою сучасна модальна метафізика підтверджує цю думку.

Дивно, що уточнення вихідних понять аналітичної філософії на основі сучасної символічної логіки повертає нас до задумів Аристотеля, забутих чи відгороджених від сучасних кількома тисячоліттями. Ефект перевідкриття забутих істин добре знайомий в історії науки, але логіка Аристотеля з часів її виникнення ніколи не бувала в тіні новітніх успіхів наукового пізнання, вона належить і античності, і Середнім вікам, і найновітнішим часам.
