Exploring Saul Kripke's Argument on Natural Kinds and Mass Terms

Delving into the concept of rigid designation, essential properties, and fixing referents, the chapter examines Kripke's views on natural kinds like tigers and how specific properties can determine the identity of objects across all possible worlds. It discusses the implications of essential properties in defining objects and species, contrasting Kripke's perspective with other philosophical viewpoints and exploring objections that challenge his conclusions.
