Current thinking about such topics as reference, naming natural kinds, necessity, analyticity, and identity as been deeply affected by a new theory of reference that has recently aroused much interest. Some of the key papers setting forth the theory, as developed by Keith S. Donnellan, Saul Kripke, and Hilary Putnam, are collected in this illuminating anthology. Disputing many widely held beliefs, the articles present all the essential aspects, arguments, and notions of the new theory of reference. In his lucid introduction, Professor Schwartz discusses the challenge that the theory poses to traditional thinking, summarizes the arguments for these claims and assesses some of its contributions to philosophy. --- from book's back cover
