In this book Kripke's long-time colleague the logician & philosopher John P. Burgess offers a thorough & self-contained guide to all of Kripke's published books & his most important philosophical papers old & new. It also provides an authoritative but non-technical account of Kripke's influential contributions to the study of modal logic & logical paradoxes. Although Kripke has been anything but a system-builder Burgess expertly uncovers the connections between different parts of his oeuvre. Kripke is shown grappling often in opposition to existing traditions with mysteries surrounding the nature of necessity rule-following & the conscious mind as well as with intricate & intriguing puzzles about identity belief & self-reference. Clearly contextualizing the full range of Kripke's work Burgess outlines summarizes & surveys the issues raised by each of the philosopher's major publications. Kripke will be essential reading for anyone interested in the work of one of analytic philosophy's greatest living thinkers. ...
