Mathematics, Matter and Method (Philosophical Papers, Vol. 1) 2nd Edition by Hilary Putnam (PDF)

Description

Professor Hilary Putnam has been one of the most influential and sharply original of recent American philosophers in a whole range of fields. His most important published work is collected here, together with several new and substantial studies, in two volumes. The first deals with the philosophy of mathematics and of science and the nature of philosophical and scientific enquiry; the second deals with the philosophy of language and mind. Volume one is now issued in a new edition, including an essay on the philosophy of logic first published in 1971.

Editorial Reviews: Review ‘Professor Putnam presents a powerful, coherent and persuasive system of thought. Ranging widely over the topics mentioned in their titles, the two volumes of essays yet have a remarkable degree of unity. Their themes overlap and are linked, as philosophical themes, seriously handled, must always overlap and be linked. In a period in which the general level of philosophical competence, as evidence in publication, is extremely high, Putnam’s work stands conspicuously out by virtue of its combination of technical sophistication, clear-sightedness, depth and power. Nothing of what he says is trivial, most of it is true and all parts of it are systematically interconnected. His prose-lucid, lively and unpretentious – is an excellent medium for his thought.’ P. F. Strawson, The Times Literary Supplement Book Description This volume deals with the philosophy of mathematics and of science and the nature of philosophical and scientific enquiry. From the Back Cover This book deals with the philosophy of mathematics and of science and the nature of philosophical and scientific enquiry, and with the philosophy of language and mind. Read more

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

⭐This book isn’t easy. At times I felt I understood 1/2 of what he was saying – at other times closer to 2/3 or 3/4. But that was enough to fuel some fun flights of cogitation. A strong background in math would help appreciate this book, but there’s plenty of meat here for even the more general philosopher (such as myself). An entertaining thinker and writer.
