His most celebrated work, \u003ci\u003eNaming and Necessity\u003c\/i\u003e, makes arguably the most important contribution to the philosophy of language and metaphysics in recent years. Asking fundamental questions - how do names refer to things in the world? Do objects have essential properties? What are natural kind terms and to what do they refer? - he challenges prevailing theories of language and conceptions of metaphysics, especially the descriptivist account of reference, which Kripke argues is found in Frege, Wittgenstein and Russell, and the anti-essentialist metaphysics of Quine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this invaluable guidebook to Kripke's classic work, Harold Noonan introduces and assesses: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKripke's life and the background to his philosophy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe ideas and text of \u003ci\u003eNaming and Necessity\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe continuing importance of Kripke's work to the philosophy of language and metaphysics.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to Kripke and \u003ci\u003eNaming and Necessity\u003c\/i\u003e is an ideal starting point for anyone coming Kripke's work for the first time.
