| Title | Hilary Putnam / edited by Yemima Ben-Menahem. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xi, 272 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Series | Contemporary philosophy in focus |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | Putnam's "The meaning of 'meaning'" : externalism in historical context / The face of perception / Realism, beyond miracles / Putnam on skepticism / The tale of quantum logic / Another philosopher looks at quantum mechanics, or what quantum theory is not / Structural realism and contextual individuality / The rise and fall of computational functionalism / The pragmatic turn : the entanglement of fact and value / |
| Summary | The richness of Putnam's philosophical oeuvre consists not only in the broad spectrum of problems addressed, but also in the transformations and restructuring his positions have undergone over the years. The essays collected in this volume are sensitive to both these dimensions. They discuss Putnam's major philosophical contributions to the theory of meaning, the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of science and mathematics, and moral theory. But, in addition, tracing threads of change and continuity, they analyze the dynamics underlying the unfolding of Putnam's thought. The volume also constitutes a critical introduction to a number of central issues in contemporary philosophy, including quantum logic, realism, functionalism, the 'minds as computer' metaphor, and the fact/value dichotomy. |
