Naming, Necessity, and Natural Kinds

Current thinking about such topics as reference, naming, natural kinds, necessity, analyticity, and identity has 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.
