Peirce's puzzle and Putnam's progress
why should i be reasonable?
pp. 225-235
Abstract
William James began his Lowell Institute lectures (1906–1907) with a quote from Chesterton's Heretics: "There are some people — and I am one of them -who think that the most practical and important thing about a man is still his view of the universe." Concurring, James said: "I think with Mr Chesterton in this matter" (James 1907:3). With the stipulation that the word "man" not be taken amiss, I join their thinking.
