Analytic philosopher Saul Kripke explains his interpretation of Ludwig Wittgenstein's work.
Ludwig Wittgenstein's work on language games and rule following has spawned decades of analytic philosophy, but interpretations of the Austrian philosopher's work vary greatly.
Eminent analytic philosopher Saul Kripke explains how he arrived at his own interpretation, now known as Kripkenstein, and discusses how scepticism and relativism can be found in Wittgenstein's work.
Saul Kripke has been described by many as the world's most influential living analytic philosopher, and in the top 10 of the last 200 years. Saul Kripke is a logician, emeritus professor at Princeton and a Corresponding Fellow at the British Academy. He is best known for reintroducing modal concepts, such as necessity and possibility.
