In this excellent collection of thematically linked essays, Harvard philosopher Putnam argues that it is time for philosophy to leave its world of system-building and to return to its true place as a form of thought intimately connected with real life. Putnam begins with Kant, and in a wide-ranging study that ends with the likes of James, Peirce, and Nelson Goodman, makes a telling case for his belief that philosophy has an important part to play in human social life and values. Highly recommended as an antidote to much 20th-century analytic philosophy and the claimed "death" of metaphysics.
