Abstract
Hilary Putnam (1926-2016) was among the most influential, visionary, and imaginative American philosophers during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Indeed, his characteristic originality and out-of-the-box thinking had a major influence on many areas of contemporary philosophy. Putnam’s groundbreaking ideas, intellectual breadth, and expertise spanned a wide range of topics and various subdisciplines, including the philosophy of science, the philosophy of mathematics and logic, the philosophy of quantum mechanics, metaphysics, the philosophy of mind, epistemology, cognitive psychology, the philosophy of language, and metaethics.1.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
