You have no idea how happy I am that these exist. I study philosophy of science at an Ag school. No lectures on Kripke or Wittgenstein here. Thank you.
In Lecture 3 of Naming and Necessity, Kripke mentions 'essence' without crediting Spinoza. He does mention Kant, Mill, Russell, Frege and a slew of his contemporaries. But he leaves out Spinoza, whose 'essence' is the lense grinder's property. So I am going to say it to Kripke's 'essence'.... Baruch Spinoza.
In a sensory deprivation tank, would you even have a concept of what is separate? How could you even conceptualize numbers when there aren't any distinctions?
There is a major problem with the treatment of necessity in this lecture since it comes from the Aristotelian system of thought in opposition to the Megaric system, and it does not account for that. For the Megareans, anything that happened in the past must have happened because if some event occurred, it is not possible that it did not happen. The problems here enter with the assumption (one of Kripke) that "the past events happened but might not have happened", and that appears illogical to us at times at least, depending on the system we use. Brant (2019) has a chapter on this in Beyond Legal Minds as well as Hartmann (1937 & 1938). Depending on which system we use, many of the statements that are not necessary for Kripke are necessary for Diodoros and Philo the Logician, for instance. This lecture guides students into the Aristotelian system first, and then they evaluate Kripke's additions. However, such assumptions would never be made when the thinker uses the opposing system.
Non sense , the doubt that student asked about mind being in the chamber , surely says that mind is nothing but memory matrix and the world is nothing but state of mind with respect to the waking , dreaming and deep sleep !
The Professor tells you at least that you are expected or intended to teach students, and that you are uniquely relevant of all professors in this context.
This is awesome! I've been reading Kripke for a Philosophy of Language course I have been taking this semester and I must say this was really helpful in getting a nice sketch of his view. Thanks!
Only an analytic philosopher would use "if and only if" in everyday discourse!

Daniel Bonevac: High-quality philosophy professor. (non- rigid designator).

Oof, but isn't the point then just that it is conceivable that pain isn't c-fibre firing?
Bonevac is obsessed with Nixon.

He really said "if and only if" in real life

Yay! I was struggling to understand a priori and a posterior in "Naming and Necessity," and this was very helpful!
It extremly clear but also goes through the difficulties without seen them like an elephant on a field of flowers.
Excellent lecture! Wish I had this kind of clear lecture when I studied philosophy!
Thanks to Professor Bonevac, I have been falling down the Descartes/Frege/Russell/Quine/Carnap/Kripke rabbit hole for almost a week. I climbed out.
thanks for upload, respect!
Thanks for the class, professor. You should be teaching Pedagogy as well.
Question from the
Very informative and well structured lecture.
