Signed by the author on the title page, "Best wishes Saul Kripke." Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Rare and desirable signed. "In the philosophy of language, Naming and Necessity is among the most important works ever, ranking with the classical work of Frege in the late nineteenth century, and of Russell, Tarski and Wittgenstein in the first half of the twentieth century . . . Naming and Necessity played a large role in the implicit, but widespread, rejection of the viewâ "so popular among ordinary language philosophersâ "that philosophy is nothing more than the analysis of language" (Philosophical Analysis in the Twentieth Century).
