Hilary Putnam (Contemporary Philosophy in Focus) Book

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 volume discusses Putnam's major philosophical contributions to the theory of meaning, the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of science and mathematics, and moral theory. It 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.Read More
