Kripke on Epistemic and Metaphysical Possibility

° Forthcoming in: Saul Kripke, edited by Alan Berger

The paper explains and distinguishes two Kripkean routes to the necessary aposteriori. One, based on essential properties, is philosophically correct and far-reaching. The second, based on strong disquotation and descriptive identification of the referents of names and natural kind terms, is incorrect and philosophically misleading.
