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 anRoutledge philosophy guidebooks.Guidebook to Kripke and Naming and necessityKripke and Naming and necessityNecessity (Philosophy)Reference (Philosophy)Identity (Philosophical concept)Necessity (Philosophy)Reference (Philosophy)Identity (Philosophical concept)121/.68Noonan Harold W.615908MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786459003321Routledge philosophy guidebook to Kripke and Naming and necessity3754852UNINA
