Preview The New Theory of Reference: Kripke, Marcus, and Its Origins

Description:
This collection of essays is the definitive version of a widely discussed debate over the origins of the New Theory of Reference. In new articles written especially for this volume, Quentin Smith and Scott Soames, the original participants in the debate, elaborate their positions on who was responsible for the ideas that Saul Kripke presented in his Naming and Necessity. They are joined by John Burgess, who weighs in on the side of Soames, while Smith adds a further dimension in discussing the contributions of philosophers such as F?llesdal, Geach, Hintikka, and Plantinga. Also included are lengthy excerpts from F?llesdal's 1961 Harvard dissertation and a careful examination by Sten Lindstr?m of the respective contributions of Kripke and Stig Kanger to the development of modal semantics. The collection will be essential reading for anyone acquainted with these influential ideas.
