    Really it is an amazing works. Hilary Putnam and his versatile works on philosophy and science has bring a new era in our realm of thought . He is like also a beacon light in our age. I consider myself lucky because I am working on his favorite area semantic externalism.
    I wish his hundred year prosperous academic life.

    Prof Hilary Putnam is one of the most important philosopher who has given some notable ideas in philosophy and also philosophy of science. As a thinker he is very honest and really a genuine seeker of truth .
    All works he has still done must be considered as an assert in our philosophical field. I personally consider that he is the one of the best analytic philosopher cum scientist world have ever produced to us. I will request to Alberto Gazzola for download so many articles of sir in this site. I hope the students will get much more facilities from here.

    Thanking you,
    Sanjit

    Hi, I read an introduction to the Twin World thought experiment. Although both worlds are said to be identical – why is water and the name of water the only difference? Water on Twin Earth is said to be superficially different – does that mean it is not the same total substance that Oscar knows on Earth?
    If I say, “Good morning!” to my neighbour, both of us hear and know the spoken words therefore we understand the meaning, though reversed.
    Twin Oscar is thinking a different word when he thinks of water therefore, given the superficiality of the water, he cannot know the same thought as Oscar experienced.

    Many Thanks
    Bert
