  • Saul Kripke (b.1940)

    As twilight deepens, we unravel the serene complexities of Saul Kripkes philosophical universe, where names and identities transcend mere existence and bind us across worlds unseen.

Through his compelling challenge to conventional wisdom and a deep dive into linguistic structures, Kripke invites us to ponder the essential truths that names conjure in the silence of the infinite worlds. Let these thoughts be the gentle tide that leads you into a night of profound contemplation and peace.This episode is hosted by Sophia Wilson.
