Description	Natural kinds are a particular locus of debate concerning modality. Modern essentialists claim that natural kinds are the subjects of necessary but aposteriori truths and have real essences. Here I look at these claims and the founding arguments for them, as presented in the work of Kripke and Putnam. From where do these arguments ultimately derive their support? From intuition? Or do they have an independent foundation in semantic theory? And if intuition is the foundation, is this intuition reliable? Book Name: The Routledge Handbook of Modality
