1959rif. 962Princeton: Association for Symbolic Logic 1959. 1st Edition. FULL VOLUME BOUND FIRST EDITION OF SAUL KRIPKE'S SEMINAL FIRST PAPER ON MODAL LOGIC "A Completeness Theorem in Modal Logic". The paper presents Kripke's important ideas on the semantics of modal logic or the logic of modal notions like necessity and possibility. Included are all 4 journal issues for 1959 one of which is inclusive of abstracts of 3 other papers Kripke sent to the Journal. Kripke was "universally hailed" for "A Completeness Theorem in Modal Logic" this paper In it he both proves the formal completeness of modal logic supplemented by first-order quantifiers and the sign of equality and "creates a semantics now called Kripke semantics" Hurley Logic 217. Kripke semantics "is a formals semantics for non-classical logic systems. first conceived for modal logics and later adapted to intuitionistic logic and other non-classical systems. The discovery of Kripke semantics was a breakthrough in the theory of non-classical logics because the model theory of such logics was almost non-existent before Kripke" Wikipedia. As the story goes in 1959 and at the age of seventeen Kripke wrote his completeness theorem in modal logic at age 17; he mailed the paper to the journal and it was sent out for comments to among a number of others the head of the Mathematics at Harvard. This person then wrote Kripke urging him to apply for a job at Harvard. The reply he received read: "My mother said that I should finish high school and go to college first" ibid. Kripke's initial intuitive idea was that a proposition is necessary if and only if it is true in all possible worlds. Kripke's paper begins: "The present paper attempts to state and prove a completeness theorem for the system S5 supplemented by first-order quantifiers and the sign of equality" Kripke JSL 241 1959 1. He then notes: ""The basis of the informal analysis which motivated these definitions is that a proposition is necessary if and only if it is true in all "possible worlds". It is not necessary for our present purposes to analyze the concept of a "possible world" any further. . In modal logic however we wish to know not only about the 6 real world but about other conceivable worlds" ibid. Shortly Kripke then wrote "In trying to construct a definition of universal logical validity it seems plausible to assume not only that the universe of discourse may contain an arbitrary number of elements and that predicates may be assigned any given interpretations in the actual world but also that any combination of possible worlds may be associated with the real world with respect to some group of predicates. In other words it is plausible to assume that no further restrictions need be placed on D G and K except the standard one that D be non-empty. This assumption leads directly to our definition of universal validity." ibid. The December issue of the journal is also bound in; it contains abstracts of the other Kripke papers received the Journal in 1959: "Distinguished Constituents" "Semantical Analysis of Modal Logic" "The Problem of Entailment". Also included are the two other issues of The Journal of Symbolic Logic from 1959 this to make a complete set. We separately offer Issue No. 4 alone. Saul Kripke 1940- is an American philosopher and logician who was awarded the Rolf Schock Prize in Logic and Philosophy in 2001. He is best known for five major contributions to philosophy beginning with this paper the starting point for Kripke Semantics. In 1962 Kripke graduated from Harvard University. Now associated with Princeton additional areas of note include his contributions to set theory his theory of truth and his interpretation of Wittgenstein's work.

1975rif. 736New York: Journal of Philosophy 1975. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF KRIPKE'S "FAMOUS AND HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL PAPER GREATLY SHAPING MOST LATER APPROACHES TO THEORIES OF TRUTH AND THE SEMANTIC PARADOXES" Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Consequences of the Semantic Paradoxes. In his 1975 article "Outline of a Theory of Truth" Kripke showed that a language can consistently contain its own truth predicate which was deemed impossible by Alfred Tarski a pioneer in the area of formal theories of truth. The trick involves letting truth be a partially defined property over the set of grammatically well-formed sentences in the language. Kripke showed how to do this recursively by starting from the set of expressions in a language which do not contain the truth predicate defining a truth predicate over just that segment: this adds new sentences to the language and truth is in turn defined for all of them. Unlike Tarski's approach however Kripke's lets "truth" be the union of all of these definition-stages; after a denumerable infinity of steps the language reaches a "fixed point" such that using Kripke's method to expand the truth-predicate does not change the language any further. Such a fixed point can then be taken as the basic form of a natural language containing its own truth predicate. But this predicate is undefined for any sentences that do not so to speak "bottom out" in simpler sentences not containing a truth predicate. That is "'Snow is white' is true" is well-defined as is "'"Snow is white" is true' is true" and so forth but neither "The sentence is true" nor "This sentence is not true" receive truth-conditions; they are in Kripke's terms "ungrounded" Wikipedia.
