From the Back Cover:
From the philosophy of mind and language, through physics and mathematics, to the philosophy of the human sciences, morality and religion, there is almost no area of philosophy to which Hilary Putnam has not made highly original and influential contributions. This wide–ranging collection of papers provides a critical assessment and exploration of Putnam′s Seminal Work. Written by Philosophers themselves well known for their work in the field, each essay bears witness to the continuing influence and importance of Putnam′s thought. Putnam′s reply constitutes an extensive new essay which clarifies, and develops further, central themes in his philosophy.

This volume includes papers by Simon Blackburn, George Boolos, Michael Hallett, Michael Redhead, Thomas Ricketts, David Wiggins and Crispin Wright.
