Putnam's internal realism

Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

Putnam's internal realism is aimed at reconciling realist and antirealist intuitions about truth and the nature of reality. A common complaint about internal realism is that it has never been stated with due precision. This paper attempts to render the position precise by drawing on the literature on conceptual spaces as well as on earlier work of the authors on the notion of identity. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
