Kripkenstein Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
In analytic philosophy, "Kripkenstein" is a half-satirical nickname casually applied by philosophers to the reading of Ludwig Wittgenstein's later work presented by Saul Kripke in Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language. The name is a portmanteau of the names of Kripke and Wittgenstein, and is chosen for its resemblance to that of Frankenstein, the fictional scientist who created a new person by stitiching together parts of the bodies of others. Its use expresses the widely held view that Kripke's book is rather distant from Wittgenstein's views. Kripke acknowledges this in the text, and hesitates to attribute exactly the views presents to Wittgenstion. Thus many philosophers feel that while the thinker portrayed in Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language is interesting and worth examining, that thinker is not with any certainty Wittgenstein, but is not Kripke either (who explicitly withholds himself from commitment to those views); it is some composite, or a fiction of Kripke's own creation, but in any case it is useful to have a name to call it by; sometimes it is simply called "Kripke's Wittgenstein".
