Description

Hilary Putnam has been at the center of contemporary debates about the nature of the mind and of its access to the world, about language and its relation to reality, and many other metaphysical and epistemological issues. In this book he turns to pragmatism - and confronts the teachings of James, Peirce, Dewey, and Wittgenstein - not solely out of an interest in theoretical questions, but above all to respond to the questions of whether it is possible to find an alternative to corrosive moral skepticism, on the one hand, and to moral authoritarianism on the other.

Author Biography:

Putnam has written extensively on the philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of natural science, philosophy of language and the philiosophy of the mind. Among his recent major publication in philiosophy are Representation and Reality (1988), Realism with a Human Face (1990), and Renewing Philosophy (1992).
