Saul Kripke

Saul Aaron Kripke (b. 1940, Omaha, Nebraska, Nebraska) is an American philosopher and logician now emeritus from Princeton and professor of philosophy at CUNY Graduate Center. He has been immensely influential in a number of fields related to logic and philosophy of language. Much of his work remains unpublished or exists only as tape-recordings and privately circulated manuscripts. He is nonetheless widely considered one of the most significant philosophers alive, and was the winner of the 2001 Schock Prize in Logic and Philosophy.
