  • Ludwig Wittgenstein

  • Gottlob Frege

  • David Hume

  • John Locke

Answer

Frege, a prominent early analytic philosopher, faced challenges to his views from Saul Kripke. Kripke questioned Frege's foundational principles, particularly his notion of'sense and reference'. He argued that Frege's theory of meaning was too simplistic and failed to account for certain semantic phenomena, such as the distinction between direct and indirect reference.
