Kripke on Proper Names

[@JohnnyTwoFingers]

What a massively underrated KZbin channel.

This is a great lecture on the philosophy of language. Thanks for sharing.

[@luyombojonathan6688]

Beautiful work !!! Cheers

[@allyu6]

I'm quite enjoying the subtle digs at Kripke's personality lol

[@danielclarke-serret7288]

Top marks for mentioning the classic Inferno.

[@dominykamauliute]

Thank you!

Another great synopsis thanks - Chordate relates to the property of having a spine / backbone aka notochord - but doesnt change the overall discussion 😊

Did Kripke think that necessity and analyticity as essentially the same? I mean, does he acknowledge the possibility that some statements can be necessarily true but not analytically true? And I still don't understand why "water is H2O" is necessarily true. If "water" designates(refers to) what we call water in this universe, does that necesarilly mean that the word "water" also designates the same entity in other universes, too? You are not saying that in this video when you mentioned the example of Hersperus and Phosperus to my understanding, but then how could the proposition that "water" is H2O is necessarily true?

hey guys! how are ya? I have a philosophical logic exam in 7 days, I love philosophy, and I'm drunk!!! do you have any solution to this dilemma?😶

[@das.gegenmittel]

Is this still a relevant work or is there something more new?

[@PhDip]

It is still quite relevant - in fact in many cases, the data models used in AI (large-language models and machine-learning techniques use Kripke’s theory of naming with respect to graph-theory). A quite remarkable turn of events for a seeming abstract philosophic concept.

No wonder AI is turning into such a clustered cultural car crash​ - thanks to Actual Traffic Cones along with many other contingencies@@PhDip

Despite what's said above, Kripke's view is absent from scientific enterprise on language communication and meaning comprehension. Psycholinguists, neurologists debate and even defend Grice, Davidson and Searle, taking these philosophical views as common ground for the field. In philosophy itself, Kripke can still and unfortunately be considered as the main view.

Why the constant Kripke bashing?
