"KRIPKE, SAUL A. - KRIPKE MODELS FOR MODAL LOGIC ""POSSIBLE WORLD SEMANTICS""
Reference : 46888
(1959)
A Completeness Theorem in Modal Logic. [In: The Journal of Symbolic Logic. Edited by Alonza Church, Leon Henkin, S.C. Kleene, Alice A. Lezerowitz & Alfons Borgers. Volume 24, Number 1, March 1959].
(No place), The Association for Symbolic Logic, 1959. 8vo. Wrappers blank with printed title on spine. Entire issue No. 1 of vol. 24, offered. Fine and clean.
The seminal first printing of Kripke's debut article, which provided the basis for his logic and for the model theory for modal logic in general. The work constitutes the very beginning of Kripke Semantics (often called possible world semantics). Kripke's works in general are rare in fist editions. Many of them remain unpublished and are only known in privately circulated manuscripts.The American philosopher Saul A. Kripke (born 1940) is an exceedingly important logician and philosopher of language and one of the most powerful and influential thinkers of analytic and Anglo-American philosophy. He is considered the greatest living philosopher and perhaps the greatest since Wittgenstein. In 2001 he was awarded the Schock Prize in Logic and Philosophy, which is considered the philosopical equivalent of the Nobel Prize.Kripke, who grew up in Omaha in a religious Jewish family, was somewhat of a prodigy child. During grammar school he got intimately acquainted with and mastered to perfection algebra, geometry and calculus, and very early on he took up philosophy, which later became his career. Still a teenager, in high school, he wrote a work that was to change the face of philosophical logic forever, namely the groundbreaking paper ""A Completeness Theorem for Modal Logic"", which was printed a few years later, in 1959, in the Journal of Symbolic Logic, while he was in his first year at Harvard University. This seminal debut work proposed what later came to be known as Kripke models for modal logic. The story goes that the paper earned a letter from the department of mathematics urging Kripke to apply for a job there, to which he is said to have written an answer explaining ""My mother said that I should finish high school and go to college first.""In 1962 he graduated from Harvard University, where he remained until 1968, first as a member of the Harvard Society of Fellows and then as a lecturer. During these years he developed the logical theories founded in the ""Completeness Theorem"" further and made seminal contributions to the field of logic and semantics. Kripke Semantics is a formal semantics for non-classical logic systems that Kripke began developing in his teenage years, first published something on in 1959 (the present work) and further developed in the 60'ies and. The development of Kripke Semantics was no less than a breakthrough in the making of non-classical logics, of which no model theory existed before Kripke's. With this work, Kripke laid the foundation for proving completeness theorems for modal logic, and for identifying the weakest normal modal logic, which is now named K after him.

Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language. An Elementary Exposition. - [THE FIRST WRITTEN PRESENTATION OF KRIPKENSTEIN]
Oxford, Blackwell, (1982). 8vo. Orig. full cloth w. gilt lettering to spine, minor bumping to capitals, otherwise a near mint copy in the orig. d-j., which is also near mint. X, 150 pp.
First edition of the immensely influential work on Wittgenstein by the exceedingly influential and important logician and philosopher of language, Saul Aaron Kripke. Kripke was professor of philosophy in America, and his works are quite rare, since many of them remain unpublished and are only known in privately circulated manuscripts. In 2001 he received the Schock Prize in Logic and Philosophy. Kripke is renowned for his studies of Wittgenstein, which are printed in this work for the first time. The subject of Kripke's book is usually referred to as ""Kripkenstein"", since the results (as well as the method) have very little to do with what is commonly accepted as the philosophy of Wittgenstein. Kripke's main claim in this (in)famous book is that all previous commentaries on Wittgenstein's Philosophische Untersuchungen (Philosophical Investigations) have failed to understand W.'s argument against ""private language"". According to Kripke Wittgenstein's ""private language argument"" is principally to be explicated in terms of the problem of ""following a rule"". The ""meaning scepticism"" presented in this work has caused a wide range of secondary litterature and very harsh critique. The book has been called a scandal of philosophy, and the number of well-esteemed philosophers who have lined up to criticise the book is very large indeed. Among these can be found Noam Chomsky, John Searle, Peter Winch, Gordon Baker etc etc. However flawed the reading of Wittgenstein is considered to be, though, the work has received overwhealming attention, and is considered highly important and interesting.
