{"product_id":"9781801360340","title":"Iron Pyrite : Reflections on Kripkean Themes - Hanoch Ben-Yami","description":"The book critiques positions argued for or assumed by Kripke, developing a largely Wittgensteinian philosophical position. Kripke's views have shaped analytic philosophy for more than half a century, many becoming common orthodoxy. Ben-Yami, by contrast, criticizes and rejects many central ones. Rigidity of names, if maintained, should be significantly revised; the causal or communication picture of names is rejected; identity is contingent, as is the origin of things; the meaning of kind terms is not a function of any unknown essence; Kripke has failed to provide any example of necessary a posteriori knowledge or to support the concept of metaphysical necessity; his approach to the liar paradox is mistaken; he failed to understand Wittgenstein on rule following; and more. A different approach to logic, language, metaphysics, and philosophy emerges as the book's critical reflections accumulate.","brand":"Hanoch Ben-Yami","offers":[{"title":"150 pages \/ 06\/10\/2026 \/ Philosophy of language","offer_id":57443823223159,"sku":"9781801360340","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781801360340.jpg?v=1788858350","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781801360340","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
