De Re Belief and Cumming's Puzzle James R. Shaw Draft, please don't cite Cumming (2008) uses a puzzle about belief ascription to argue against a Millian semantics for names, and in favor of a semantics on which names are assigned denotations relative to a shiftable variable assignment. I argue that a generalization of Cumming's puzzle reveals that its solution shouldn't appeal to the influence of any shiftable parameters on overt referring expressions.

• world parameter
• product of substitution
• definite descriptions
• intensional context
• shiftable parameter of the index
• special challenge to the millian
• identity
• belief
• strategy
• time
