About this book

Hilary Putnam’s writings have shaped epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of physics and mathematics, and philosophy of mind. This volume illustrates his willingness to revisit past arguments, above all how to articulate a theory of naturalism which acknowledges that normative phenomena form an ineluctable part of human experience.

Reviews

Putnam’s writing in these essays is characteristically engaging, brilliant, and insightful, and as refreshing and instructive to read as ever. The more of the essays one reads, the more one sees how points that may at first seem unconnected are in fact deeply related and part of a principled and compelling whole.
-- Gary Ebbs, Indiana University Bloomington

Putnam is one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, and these essays are ones future generations of philosophers will want to attend to.
-- Charles Travis, King’s College London
