Kripke: Names, necessity, and identity

Kripke: Names, necessity, and identity
This sounds like an interesting book. I'll have to see if I can get a hold of it some how, as I don't really want to spend $130 on a book without at least looking at it first. On the other hand, if I spend $130 on a book, perhaps I'll bother to read it which will be an improvement.

Normally I buy books, and put them on my bookshelf, occasionally after having read a chapter or two.

The Naming and Necessity paperback is US$20 from Amazon. I'm sure you can get it for a comparable price in Australia.

The book is interesting. It is even more interesting if you understand the modal-theoretical motivations. And it's amazing for the simple fact that it's a transcripted lecture with virtually no post-editorial revision.

Cheers,

Mike
