Saul Kripke is opposed to which other late-20th-century philosopher?
Jean-Paul Sartre
Jacques Derrida
W.V.O. Quine
Daniel Dennett
Answer
Quine, known for his rejection of the analytic-synthetic distinction, stood in opposition to Kripke's defense of it. Quine argued that all knowledge is ultimately based on sensory experience, while Kripke maintained that some truths are known a priori, independently of experience. The disagreement between the two philosophers centered on the nature of language and how it relates to reality.
