Kripke's interpretation

Kripke's interpretation refers to a way of understanding how words and meanings work in language and logic. It suggests that the truth of a statement depends on a "possible world" or a variation of reality, rather than just the actual world. Think of it as considering different imagined scenarios to determine if something is true or meaningful. For example, a name or term might refer to the same object in our world, but could mean something different in an alternate scenario. This approach helps clarify meanings, especially when discussing reference, truth, and how language relates to reality.
