No Route to Material Origin Essentialism?
Erkenntnis 72 (1):93-110 (2010)
Abstract
In the last 30 years repeated attempts have been made to develop a proof-sketch Kripke gave for essentialism about material origins into a cogent argument. I argue that there are general reasons that all such attempts have failed, and so we should likewise expect future attempts to fail.Author's Profile
