Representation and Reality (Representation and Mind)

Hilary Putnam
4.9/5 (30182 ratings)
Description:Hilary Putnam, who may have been the first philosopher to advance the notion that the computer is an apt model for the mind, takes a radically new view of his own theory of functionalism in this book. Putnam argues that in fact the computational analogy cannot answer the important questions about the nature of such mental states as belief, reasoning, rationality, and knowledge that lie at the heart of the philosophy of mind."Representation and Reality is one of the most thorough and careful criticisms of reductionism in the philosophy of mind that we have yet seen, and all future discussions of the computerhuman analogy will have to take account of it." --Richard Rorty, University of Virginia"This clear, powerfully argued, and thoroughly accessible book is fascinating, and no one with a serious interest in the philosophy of mind or the philosophy of language can afford not to study it." --Stephen Schiffer, City University of New YorkHilary Putnam is Walter Beverly Pearson Professor of Mathematical Logic at Harvard University.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
