Saul Kripke is one of the most important philosophers of the
twentieth century. His most celebrated work, Naming and Necessity,
makes arguably the most important contribution to the philosophy of
language and metaphysics in recent years. Asking fundamental
questions - how do names refer to things in the world? Do objects
have essential properties? What are natural kind terms and to what
do they refer? - he challenges prevailing theories of language and
conceptions of metaphysics, especially the descriptivist account of
reference, which Kripke argues is found in Frege, Wittgenstein and
Russell, and the anti-essentialist metaphysics of Quine. In this
invaluable guidebook to Kripke's classic work, Harold Noonan
introduces and assesses: Kripke's life and the background to his
philosophy the ideas and text of Naming and Necessity the
continuing importance of Kripke's work to the philosophy of
language and metaphysics. The Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to
Kripke and Naming and Necessity is an ideal starting point for
anyone coming Kripke's work for the first time. It is essential
reading for philosophy students studying philosophy of language,
metaphysics, logic, or the history of analytic philosophy.
