Are Natural Kind Terms Special

Abstract

These days we speak freely of 'natural kind terms', indicating that they constitute a special, semantic category of terms. It was not always so. Indeed, prior to Putnam and Kripke's writings from the 1970's, the label 'natural kind term ' seems not to have been employed at all.
