   Extractions: Hilary Putnam's argument against metaphysical realism (commonly referred to as the "model theoretic argument") has now enjoyed two decades of discussion. The text is rich and contains variously construable arguments against variously construed philosophical positions. David Lewis isolated one argument and called it "Putnam's Paradox". That argument is clear and concise; so is the paradoxical conclusion it purports to demonstrate; and so is Lewis' paradox-avoiding solution. His solution involves a position I call "anti-nominalism": not only are classes real, but they are divided into arbitrary and 'natural' classes. The natural classes 'carve nature at the joints', being (as other philosophers might say) the extensions of 'real' properties, universals, or Forms. Thus the argument was turned, in effect, into support for a metaphysical realism stronger than Putnam envisaged. I will offer a different way to look at Putnam's model theoretic argument. If we insist on discussing language solely in terms of a relation between words and things, we may well be forced into a metaphysical realist point of view, on pain of paradox. But on the level of pragmatics, in a discussion of language that also addresses the roles of user and use, the air of paradox dissolves all by itself. I shall also try to show how we can resist Lewis' argument, derived from Putnam's, for anti-nominalism. No metaphysical postulates will be needed to avoid the threatened disasters of self-understanding.

    Extractions: The Cat Page Bas van Fraassen For a very dramatic picture, see A Memento to Mori I grew up with a cat and so I know that cats are the most intelligent, graceful, and insightful beings in the Universe. (This is already an example of how we humans can achieve a small measure of wisdom if we live with cats.) The little parakeet in these pictures came to a tragic end, ath the hands of another cat, when she escaped the house last summer. But Gina now has another bird, a little parrot called Nika: Here Nika suddenly noticed that her cage had been occupied while she was traipsing around the room, and she is protesting loudly. The story of Put-Put is a bit more tragic but also has a happy ending. Put-Put was the only survivor of six starving stray kittens, adopted by Kees (my brother) and his wife Barbara. He was so small and pitiful he had to be fed with an eyedropper, but put on weight pretty quickly and flourished till he was about two years old. Then he became ill and died. Eventually his place was taken by Buffy, a lynx-point Siamese ... and Buffy developed the same symptoms as Put-Put .... But here is the happy ending:

NUMBER: QUOTATION: To develop an empiricist account of science is to depict it as involving a search for truth only about the empirical world, about what is actual and observable.... It must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise.
