Hilary Putnam Interview - Mind, Truth & Science (1998) 

Every day is Christmas on this channel. ❤

Mr Putnam’s mocking chuckles. Priceless 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

what a marvellous range Hilary had- I could listen to him all day

This is amazing. I didn’t have a chance to study Putnam as an undergraduate. I was missing out.

Thank you very much, you did me a very big favor!

Pure gold, also known as 24 karat gold (24k) or fine gold, has an intense and bright yellow color, with a slightly reddish hue. This hue is unique and unmistakable, making pure gold easily recognizable. It is important to emphasize that this characteristic yellow color of pure gold is natural and not altered by additions of other metals. In fact, the color of gold can vary slightly according to its origin and purity, but it will always remain within the range of yellow tones. Some factors that can influence the hue of pure gold include: Presence of impurities: Even pure gold can contain small amounts of other metals, such as silver and copper. These impurities can cause slight variations in color, making the gold appear slightly paler or redder. Surface finish: The surface finish of pure gold can also affect its color perception. A polished finish, for example, will reflect more light and appear brighter and more yellow, while a matte finish may appear darker and softer. Lighting conditions: The color of pure gold can also vary slightly depending on lighting conditions. Under natural light, pure gold will have a more intense yellow color, while under artificial light, it may appear more orange or golden. In summary, the color of pure gold is an intense and bright yellow, with a slightly reddish hue. This unique hue is one of the key elements that distinguish pure gold from other gold alloys.

Yay! It's back up! Thanks man.

Thank you Phil Overdose! I was looking for this! I remember a video of Putnam talking about the safir worf hypothesis, do you know where that might have come from?

need john searle's interview too

Wow, this is fantastic. Please keep the pragmatists coming. :)

made my day❤

Speaking of reductionism.. "bad for the culture, bad for the mind"... he has been proven right (at least for the "culture" part)

Interestingly enough I was reading Russell’s logical atomism when you posted his earlier talks on qualia (when he was the “brain in a vat” Putnam) prior to this perspective shit and he seemed right on point with that perspective. Now listening to this I’m currently reading Merleau Ponty and he seems to be right on point with that at almost the extreme other end of the spectrum. I don’t think it’s necessarily an either/or

i love how he makes himself laugh

Didn't Putnam discuss ethics at the same room? Could you send the compilation of videos too?

35:15 “There is a middle way here, but the middle way is subtle and nuanced.” I wonder if he knew anything about Nagarjuna and his philosophy

He who showed the way

The Master and The Emissary, anyone here read it ?

🇾🇪❤️

I wonder if something funny was going on off-camera.

Does he misrepresent Searle here, does anybody know? It does strike me as odd that he doesn't believe in unconscious processing (like, surely he can't believe that?)

Pheww

What is Western philosophy actually about? Right now reading about Daniel Dennett Freedom Evolves

🛶

Putman surely cannot be a philosopher, he admits mistakes and I seem to be able to understand what he's saying!

Putnams little snuffling laugh is really annoying. And the things he thinks are funny. What a nerdy laugh.
