Naming, Necessity and More Explorations in the Philosophical Work of Saul Kripke

Saul Kripke's Naming and Necessity, one of the most influential philosophical works of the twentieth century, serves as the backdrop for this collection of essays by leading specialists, on topics ranging from naming and necessity to meaning and skepticism. The volume concludes with an exciting, eye-opening new paper of Kripke's on the proof of Gödel's incompleteness theorem.

Jonathan Berg teaches in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Haifa, Israel, and has held visiting appointments at UCLA, the University of Pittsburgh, Simon Fraser University, the University of Bristol, the University of London, Georgetown University, and the Graduate Center at CUNY.
