Abstract:

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, and in the process
makes significant contributions to continuing debates about such topics as
modality, essence, natural kinds, and the relation between the mental and
the physical.  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.
