Near Fine, Saul Kripke (1940- ) is an American philosopher and logician who was awarded the Rolf Schock Prize in Logic and Philosophy in 2001. He is best known for five major contributions to philosophy beginning with the current papers, the starting point for Kripke Semantics. These were written and published while Kripke was a high school teenager. Subsequently, his 1970 lectures "Naming and Necessity" was a focal point for restructuring the philosophy of language.

A brilliant Swedish logician, and a former professor at the University of Maryland, Lars Svenonius (1927-2010) published several papers in the late 50's & early 60's in the Swedish journal Theoria, one of which "established what is still referred to as the 'Svenonius theorem' on decidability". Earning his doctorate in 1960 from the University of Uppsala with his dissertation Some problems in Model Theory, Lars would be the first Swedish logician to work on model theory. [Wikipedia.org: Lars Svenonius] . "Saul Kripke, a pecular man who had been educated at Harvard and Oxford, and had begun writing in modal logic as a teenager in 1959".[Kuklick's History of Philosophy in America: 1720-2000] "Mr. Kripke...a true prodigy, so brilliant and precocious that the so-called prodigies of today are by comparison mere shadows flickering on the wall of our collective cave. In the fourth grade he discovered algebra, which he later said he could have invented on his own, and by the end of grammar school he had mastered geometry and calculus and taken up philosophy. While still a teenager he wrote a series of papers that eventually transformed the study of modal logic." Kripke's earliest papers were published in The Journal of Symbolic Logic and are very rare in the original first editions as seen here. Awarded the Schock Prize in 2001, the equivalent of the Nobel prize in philosophy, Kripke is considered by many to be "the world's greatest living philosopher". "Before Kripke, there was a sort of drift in analytic philosophy in the direction of linguistic idealism - the idea that language is not tuned to the world," Richard Rorty, an emeritus professor of comparative literature at Stanford, said recently. "Saul almost single-handedly changed that." Paul Boghossian, a former student of Mr. Kripke's, who now teaches at New York University, said, "The great thing about Saul is that he never confuses a real philosophical issue with a merely technical problem."

Outline of a Theory of Truth. In the Journal of Philosophy, Col. Lxxii, No. 19, Nov. 6, 1975 Pp. 690-716.

New York:, Journal of Philosophy,, 1975.. Paperback. Offered Is a Very Good++ Entire Issue of the Journal of Philosophy in Original Printed Wrappers with Library Stamps Front Cover, Mild Wear Spine. 8vo. Very Good++, In his 1975 article "Outline of a Theory of Truth", Kripke showed that a language can consistently contain its own truth predicate, which was deemed impossible by Alfred Tarski, a pioneer in the area of formal theories of truth. The trick involves letting truth be a partially defined property over the set of grammatically well-formed sentences in the language. Kripke showed how to do this recursively by starting from the set of expressions in a language which do not contain the truth predicate, defining a truth predicate over just that segment: this adds new sentences to the language, and truth is in turn defined for all of them. Unlike Tarski's approach, however, Kripke's lets "truth" be the union of all of these definition-stages; after a denumerable infinity of steps the language reaches a "fixed point" such that using Kripke's method to expand the truth-predicate does not change the language any further. Such a fixed point can then be taken as the basic form of a natural language containing its own truth predicate. But this predicate is undefined for any sentences that do not, so to speak, "bottom out" in simpler sentences not containing a truth predicate. That is, "'Snow is white' is true" is well-defined, as is "'"Snow is white" is true' is true," and so forth, but neither "The sentence is true" nor "This sentence is not true" receive truth-conditions; they are, in Kripke's terms, "ungrounded."

Otherwise the book and dust jacket in very good order. In this trenchant enquiry, Professor Kripke brings his powerful philosophical intelligence to bear on Wittgenstein's analysis of the notion of following a rule. -- the author believes that this problem is central to Wittgenstein's later for loss of the. In particular, he holds that Wittgenstein's celebrated "private language argument", whose interpretation and validity have been the subject of much philosophical debate, is best interpreted in terms of this question. Wittgenstein is seen as presenting a sceptical paradox, analogous to Hume's scepticism about induction, which seemed to show that the notion of being guided by rule is unintelligible. After discussing how Wittgenstein would respond possible solutions of his problem, the author presents what he takes to be Wittgenstein's own "sceptical solution". The solution has far-reaching consequences for Wittgenstein's philosophy of language in general, and forms the basis of his later work in the philosophy of mind on the philosophy of mathematics." -- front fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
