This collection of essays on Saul Kripke and his philosophy is the
first and only collection of essays to examine both published and
unpublished writings by Kripke. Its essays, written by distinguished
philosophers in the field, present a broader picture of Kripke's life
and work than has previously been available to scholars of his
thought. New topics covered in these essays include vacuous names and
names in fiction, Kripke on logicism and de re attitude toward
numbers, Kripke on the incoherency of adopting a logic, Kripke on
colour words and his criticism of the primary versus secondary quality
distinction, and Kripke's critique of functionalism. These essays not
only present Kripke's basic arguments but also engage with the
arguments and controversies engendered by his work, providing the most
comprehensive analysis of his philosophy and writings available. This
collection will become a classic in contemporary analytic philosophy.
