Representation and Reality

Book • 1991
In 'Representation and Reality', Hilary Putnam critiques functionalism and the computational analogy for understanding mental states.

He argues that these models cannot adequately explain belief, reasoning, rationality, and knowledge.

The book also explores the indeterminacy of translation and the role of environment in determining meaning, using his famous twin-earth example.
