Philosophical Papers: Volume 1, Mathematics, Matter and Method (Paperback, Revised)

The volumes in this series bring together the papers of one of America's most distinguished philosophers. The first two volumes, which appeared in 1975, marked his highly significant and original contribution in a number of related fields and were praised for their "technical sophistication, clear-sightedness, depth, and power." The third volume contains the major essays written since then and reveals modifications of and amplifications on some of Professor Putnam's beliefs.
