Reviews
...This is a consistently stimulating book, chocked-full of interesting interpretations of Kripke's philosophy of language. Most of the contributions are instructive and insightful. --George Lazaroiu, PhD, Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, New York, Analysis and Metaphysics If Kripke did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him. If it were necessary to invent K, it would be possible to invent K. If K could be invented by J, and K innovated I, then J could have innovated I. For most ideas, I, recounted or reappraised in this first-rate collection of original essays on Kripke's philosophical work: only K could have innovated I... Berger's anthology has been a long time coming, but it comes at a good time... --Alexis Burgess, Stanford University, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
