Putnam Realism with a Metaphysical Skull John Haldane Putnam and Pragmatist Theory of Truth Nicholar Rescher Pragmatism and Legal Reasoning Richard Warner Truth and Trans-Theoretical Terms Gary Ebbs Pragmatics and Pragmatisms Robert Brandom What Laws of Logic Say Charles Travis Causal Theory of Perception and Direct Realism Tadeusz Szubka Hilary Putnam is asked to comment on the issues raised in each article rendering this essential reading for any scholar of his work.

Industry Reviews

"Putnam is an important thinker, and this collection devoted to his work is welcome, especially because his views have changed considerably since the last collection of this king was published. This is a rich book, which covers the most important themes from Putnam's work in the last 25 years." -"Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
