The Philosophy of Hilary Putnam (Library of Living Philosophers Book 34) by Randall E. Auxier (PDF)

Description

Hilary Putnam, who turned 88 in 2014, is one of the world’s greatest living philosophers. He currently holds the position of Cogan University Professor Emeritus of Harvard. He has been called “one of the 20th century’s true philosophic giants” (by Malcolm Thorndike Nicholson in Prospect magazine in 2013). He has been very influential in several different areas of philosophy: philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of science. This volume in the prestigious Library of Living Philosophers series contains 26 chapters original to this work, each written by a well-known philosopher, including the late Richard Rorty and the late Michael Dummett. The volume also includes Putnam’s reply to each of the 26 critical and descriptive essays, which cover the broad range of Putnam’s thought. They are organized thematically into the following parts: Philosophy and Mathematics, Logic and Language, Knowing and Being, Philosophy of Practice, and Elements of Pragmatism. Readers will also appreciate the extensive Intellectual Autobiography.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐An excellent addition to the Library Living Philosophers. Putnam comes across as not only brilliant but big-hearted. His replies to criticisms are models of their kind, ditto his intellectual autobiography. As an avid fan of the young Putnam and an opponent the middle Putnam I am glad to say that the later Putnam returned to the realist fold. I once lamented (wrt the ‘internal realist’ Putnam ) ‘Oh How art thou fallen from Heaven Oh Lucifer, son of the morning!’ But now it’s a matter of “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.” Putnam thankfully saved his realist soul alive.

⭐Genius is rare on our planet. Putnam was one. That is all.

⭐Ottimo libro sul pensiero di Putnam con una interessante autobiografia. Il lavoro comprende le reply di Putnam a tutti i saggi scritti su di lui. Lo consiglio vivamente. Ricevuto puntualmente.
