- Title
Saul Kripke’s Groundbreaking Philosophy.
- Authors
García-Carpintero, Manuel
- Abstract
This obituary for Saul Kripke adopts the perspective of exploring why his work on several philosophical topics (including reference, truth, and meaning) should be considered groundbreaking – even when one adopts an “exceptionalist” view of the nature of philosophy that rejects the “non-exceptionalism” of Quine and followers on which it is straightforwardly continuous with science – according to which philosophical “theories” are fictional rational reconstructions of conceptual domains. The issue is also examined whether Kripke’s own philosophy of philosophy was to be classified in one or the other camp.
