A student's guide to the philosophy of Saul Kripke, a widely-studied yet notoriously challenging thinker
Arif Ahmed is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Cambridge, UK.
"This is a lovely book - crystal clear exposition, concise lucid
criticism." - Laurence Goldstein, University of Kent, UK.
"This book is an insightful and thorough analysis of Kripke's major
contributions to philosophy...Arif Ahmed's book is a good example
of analytical work which combines critical analysis of Kripe's
arguments from Naming and Necessity with more discursive analysis
of his skeptical argument, and a more interpretive treatment of the
skeptical solution. As Ahmed admits, his aim was not to refute
Kripke's views, only to present objections to them. Without a
doubt, this aim has been fully accomplished." -Anton Petrenko,
