Abstract

The road along Kripke, In order to further clarify his paper on the modal theory of cognitive point of view, however, an important point in this paper illustrate the mode of his stated views and view modes between a huge differences, namely: the nature of this mode is that the object or the fact that the modal, management or the fact that it really closely, but not with language. In this paper, the modal theory known as such regardless of the existence of modal theory. It has the following characteristics, namely: it is the actual weight, light theory, there is only concerned about the fact that, while not interested in the theoretical predictions. It's an important motto is: there's the inevitable. According the thought of Saul Kripke , this paper attempts to explain Kripke's view on the cognitive modal theory. But it is very important to point out there is a great difference between this paper and Kripke's view on modality; the modality I concerned is essentially the modality of the thing or the fact, which is related with truth or fact closely, but not with language. Therefore, I call this kind of modality as the modal reality, which is concerned more on the real aspect than the theoretical aspect , and on the fact of existence than on the theoretical prophecy. There is an important axiom: "what exists is the necessary."
