Saul Kripke, in a series of classic writings of the 1960s and
1970s, changed the face of metaphysics and philosophy of language.
Christopher Hughes offers a careful exposition and critical
analysis of Kripke's central ideas about names, necessity, and
identity. He clears up some common misunderstandings of Kripke's
views on rigid designation, causality and reference, the necessary
and the contingent, the a posteriori and the a priori. Through his
engagement with Kripke's ideas Hughes makes a significant
contribution to ongoing debates on, inter alia, the semantics of
natural kind terms, the nature of natural kinds, the essentiality
of origin and constitution, the relative merits of 'identitarian'
and counterpart-theoretic accounts of modality, and the identity or
otherwise of mental types and tokens with physical types and
tokens. No specialist knowledge in either the philosophy of
language or metaphysics is presupposed; Hughes's book will be
valuable for anyone working on the ideas which Kripke made famous
in the philosophy world.
