Naming, necessity, and more : explorations in the philosophical work of Saul Kripke

Hanoch Ben-Yami is a professor in the Department of Philosophy of the Central European University in Budapest. His philosophical publications include papers on logic, language, mind, time and causality in special relativity, medical ethics, Wittgenstein, and also a satirical play on experimental philosophy. Ben-Yami's current research is mainly in two areas. He has been developing a new logic, closer than the predicate calculus to natural language, with a formal system and with applications to plural logic, modality, and more. He is also working on a book on Descartes, in which he shows that some of Descartes' most important philosophical innovations are the product of a variety of influences, coming from the technological, scientific, mathematical and other disciplines of the time, and which were not developed by the method Descartes declared he was following in the Meditations.
