| Résumé : |
This volume appraises the major philosophical contributions of Hilary Putnam (b. 1926) to the theory of meaning, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science and mathematics, and moral theory. Concerned not only with the broad spectrum of problems addressed, it also details the transformations and restructuring his positions have undergone over the years. The analysis constitutes a critical introduction to central issues in contemporary philosophy, including quantum logic, realism, functionalism, the "mind as computer" metaphor, and the fact/value dichotomy. ### Book Description 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. ### About the Author Yemima Ben-Menahem is Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. |
