Putnam’s Model-Theoretic Argument Reconstructed
نویسنده
چکیده
Among those addressed by Putnam’s model-theoretic argument it is common opinion that the argument is invalid because question-begging. If the standard analysis of the argument is along the right lines, then what has been called the ‘just more theory move’ is to be held responsible for this. In the present paper, an alternative reading of Putnam’s argument is offered that makes the ‘just more theory move’ come out perfectly legitimate, and the argument as a whole valid.

Akihiro Kanamori Putnam ’ s Constructivization Argument
We revisit Putnam’s constructivization argument from his Models and Reality, part of his model-theoretic argument against metaphysical realism. We set out how it was initially put, the commentary and criticisms, and how it can be specifically seen and cast, respecting its underlying logic and in light of Putnam’s contributions to mathematical
متن کاملA Note on Global Descriptivism and Putnam’s Model-Theoretic Argument
According to Putnam’s model-theoretic argument, an epistemically ideal theory cannot fail to be true. Lewis contends that all the argument really shows is that an epistemically ideal theory must be true provided a certain theory of reference—which he terms Global Descriptivism—is the whole truth about reference, which he emphatically denies. In this note it is argued that Lewis grants Putnam to...
متن کاملThe Problem with Charlie : Some Remarks on Putnam , Lewis and Williams ∗
In his new paper, “Eligibility and Inscrutability,” J. R. G. Williams presents a surprising new challenge to David Lewis’ theory of interpretation. Although Williams frames this challenge primarily as a response to Lewis’ criticisms of Putnam’s model-theoretic argument, the challenge itself goes to the heart of Lewis’ own account of interpretation. Further, and leaving Lewis’ project aside for ...
متن کاملMore on Putnam ’ s Models
In 2001, I published a paper which, among other things, criticized the mathematics involved in one version of Hilary Putnam’s notorious model-theoretic argument against realism. Recently, Luca Bellotti has taken issue with several of the arguments in that paper. Here, I want to respond to Bellotti’s objections and to take the opportunity to make a few, somewhat more general remarks concerning t...
متن کاملAppendix 2: Reference Magnets and the Grounds of Intentionality
A recently popular idea is that especially natural properties and entites serve as “reference magnets”. Expressions refer to these properties at least partly in virtue of their naturalness. This idea sometimes serve as part of a radically externalist approach to reference and content, on which content is fixed by worldly factors that are largely independent of our cognitive apparatus. I think t...
