What critique can you give Frege’s “sense-reference theory of meaning”? (not more
than 70 words)

On my critique in Frege’s Sense-Reference Theory, I will use Kripke’s theory about the
rigid designator, which are proper names that are still stood understandable without given
context. If I say, “Aristotle”, any person who recognizes that word would understand that I’m
automatically referring to the philosopher due to Aristotle’s prevalent name throughout time. If
they have no idea about him, then they wouldn’t know the word “Artistotle” at all.
