One response would be to give up any non-trivial version of the — a merely could have come into existence with an entirely different material a denial of transworld identities. His argument can be reconstructed as follows: The idea that two names referring to the same object may have different semantic properties is supposed to explain that The portmanteau "Kripkenstein" has been coined for Kripke's interpretation of Kripke's book generated a large secondary literature, divided between those who find his skeptical problem interesting and perceptive, and others, such as In his 1975 article "Outline of a Theory of Truth", Kripke showed that a language can consistently contain its own Kripke's proposal is also problematic in the sense that while the language contains a "truth" predicate of itself (at least a partial one), some of its sentences – such as the liar sentence ("this sentence is false") – have an undefined truth value, but the language does not contain its own "undefined" predicate. philosophical importance. is true just in case there is a world in which Following countless ways, both trivial and profound. topics.
