A collection of Hilary Putnam's stimulating, incisive responses to
such varied and eminent thinkers as Richard Rorty, Jurgen Habermas,
Noam Chomsky, Martha Nussbaum, W. V. Quine, Wilfrid Sellars, John
McDowell, and Cornel West. Hilary Putnam (1926-2016) was
renowned-some would say infamous-for changing his philosophical
positions over the course of his long and much-admired career. This
collection of essays, the first of its kind, showcases how his
ideas evolved as he wrestled with the work of his contemporaries.
Divided into five thematic sections, Philosophy as Dialogue begins
with questions of language and formal logic, tracing Putnam's
reactions to the arguments of Wilfrid Sellars, Noam Chomsky,
Charles Travis, and Tyler Burge. Next, it brings together Putnam's
responses to realists and antirealists, philosophers of science and
of perception, followed by forays into pragmatism and skepticism.
While Putnam devoted most of his efforts to logic, mathematics, and
the philosophy of mind, he also took up issues in moral philosophy,
politics, and religion. Here we read him in conversation with
giants of these fields, including Martha Nussbaum, Jurgen Habermas,
Elizabeth Anscombe, Cora Diamond, Richard Rorty, and Franz
Rosenzweig. Finally, Philosophy as Dialogue presents Putnam's
deeply personal and largely unknown writing on philosophical method
that reveals the influence of W. V. Quine, Michael Dummett, and
Stanley Cavell on his work. Once more, Mario De Caro and David
Macarthur have presented and introduced a choice selection of
Hilary Putnam's writings that will change the way he is understood.
Most of all, these thirty-six replies and responses to his
contemporaries showcase the extraordinary-perhaps even
unparalleled-breadth of his work, and his capacity to engage deeply
with seemingly every mode of philosophy.
