Saul A. Kripke (1940--2022) was a Distinguished Professor in the Philosophy and Computer Science Programs at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and Professor Emeritus at Princeton University. The author of trailblazing results in modal logic while still in high school, Kripke went on to become one of the most influential logicians and philosophers of his time. He was awarded the Rolf Schock Prize in Logic and Philosophy by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 2001.
"Much of the philosophical work of the last half-century could not have existed without Naming and Necessity. If you read this marvelous book, you'll find out why." David Chalmers, University Professor of Philosophy and Neural Science and co-director of the Center for Mind, Brain, and Consciousness, NYU
