View Rights PortalHilary Putnam ist einer der originellsten Philosophen Amerikas. Seit Beginn der 80er Jahre hat sich sein Denken zunehmend pragmatistischen Positionen angenähert und damit maßgeblich zur gegenwärtigen Renaissance des Pragmatismus beigetragen. In diesem Sammelband setzen sich führende Philosophen aus den USA, England und Deutschland mit Putnams Werk und dessen Verhältnis zum Pragmatismus auseinander (u. a. G. Abel, K.-O. Apel, R. Bernstein, R. Brandom, J. Conant, J. Habermas, C. Hookway, H. Joas, K. Oehler, R. A. Putnam). Putnam hat eigens für diesen Band eine Replik auf die Kritik von Jürgen Habermas verfaßt.
»Hilary Putnam, einer der größten Philosophen dieses Jahrhunderts, ist der Erfinder des Funktionalismus, einer der einflußreichsten Ideen in der Philosophie des Geistes. In Repräsentation und Realität zeigt er nun unter anderem, warum der Funktionalismus nicht richtig sein kann.« (Stephen Schiffer).

This volume explores the disruptive effects of militarism, war and social unrest in early modern drama. Engaging with Simon Barker's seminal work on dramatic representations of war and militarism, contributors highlight what often lies hidden beneath the surface of martial narratives, treating them as formative interventions in contemporary discourses, whether in justifying war, excluding dissident voices or shaping cultural identities. Discussions include new examinations of militarism, the figure of the soldier and early modern theories of war in Shakespearean tragedy, history and comedy, alongside antimasque and dramatic satire by lesser-known playwrights. The essays investigate how ideas of war underpin emerging concepts of gender, leadership, marriage and the family, as well as the continuing mobilisation of Shakespearean drama in the context of modern armed conflict. Together, they offer rich new contributions to the current lively critical debates on this topic.
