Beskrivning

This book offers a comprehensive examination of Kripke’s influential reading of the later Wittgenstein presented in Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language (1982), together with the principal objections raised by more than twenty philosophers. It introduces the key ideas that frame Kripke’s sceptical challenge, then analyses the main components of the ‘sceptical argument’ Kripke attributes to Wittgenstein and elucidates the ‘sceptical solution’ he takes Wittgenstein to propose as an alternative to classical realism. It also explores how both the sceptical problem and an additional ‘special problem’ arise in the attributing sensations and in traditional approaches to the problem of other minds. The concluding chapters survey the major responses to Kripke’s interpretation developed by philosophers working on the topic since the 1980s, including John McDowell, Simon Blackburn, Gordon Baker, Peter Hacker, Colin McGinn, Crispin Wright, Paul Boghossian, Philip Pettit, Barry Stroud, Hannah Ginsborg, Alexander Miller, George Wilson, Scott Soames, Noam Chomsky, Paul Horwich, as well as Norman Malcolm, Donald Davidson, David Lewis, Christopher Peacocke, Jerry Fodor, David Stern, Alex Byrne, Ruth Millikan, Hilary Putnam and John Searle.

‘A superbly clear, judicious, and compendious discussion of Kripke’s classic book on Wittgenstein’s treatment of rules and private language, and of the huge secondary lit-erature it has spawned. It significantly advances our understanding of this difficult material and will be immensely useful to anyone, students and faculty alike, who is in-terested in these foundational issues in the philosophy of language and mind.’ — Paul Boghossian, Julius Silver Professor of Philosophy, New York University, NY, USA‘Kripke’s Wittgenstein provides a lucid and compelling exposition of the main argu-ments of Kripke’s seminal book together with an exhaustive and illuminating account of all the principal responses to Kripke in the 40 years since the book’s publication. It will be a valuable tool for all students and researchers working on these topics.’ — Ma-rie McGinn, University of York, UK‘Ali Hossein Khani’s book offers a detailed reconstruction of Kripke’s famous interpre-tation of Wittgenstein and an encyclopedia of the myriad responses. Khani's book will be an invaluable resource for future work in this area.’ — Martin Kusch, Professorial Research Fellow, Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna, Austria
