In this essay I will be analysing Kripke's claim of certain true identity statements being necessarily true i.e. in the case of names and theoretical identifications. A counterexample will then be put forward, showing that such identity statements can be contingently true. It will also be demonstrated in this essay, that such different claims about identity statements are dependent on the varying notions of possible worlds.

 

KEYWORDS: Identity statements, necessary truth, Kripke, possible worlds, rigid designator, count,
