Blum’s Puzzle and the Analiticity of Kripkean Identity Statements
Acta Analytica 34 (1):9-14 (2019)
Abstract
We rely on a recent puzzle by Alex Blum to offer a new argument for the old Fitch’s thesis that what we learn a posteriori in Kripkean identity statements like ‘Tully is Cicero’ is contingent and what is not contingent in such statements is analytical, hence hardly a posteriori.Author's Profile
