Kripke Conference with On-line Videos

Last month, there was a conference in honor of Saul Kripke at CUNY. The conference page now has a full-length video of Kripke’s talk “The First Person”, a 178MB (!) file, and an incomplete video of the discussion section (which ends abruptly when Soames is questioning Kripke). The videos are in wmv format, which you need either the Windows Media Player to view, or, if — like me — you prefer open source software, the newest version of VLC will play wmv files as well. The audio on the videos isn’t all that great, so it takes some concentration to really follow what’s going on.
