Focusing on the philosophical revolution initiated by Kripke, Putnam, and Kaplan, Scott Soames defends their anti-descriptivist stance against recent critiques aiming to restore descriptivism and internalism. He highlights the emergence of two-dimensional modal logic, a technical framework that challenges the profound implications of concepts like the necessary a posteriori and the contingent a priori. Soames argues that this reinterpretation undermines the foundational significance of these categories in contemporary philosophy, emphasizing the importance of maintaining their original philosophical insights.
