Publisher's synopsis (translated):

Hilary Putnam is one of the most original contemporary American philosophers. Beginning in the early 80's, Putnam's thought has increasingly become involved with pragmatist positions and thus has significantly contributed to the current renaissance of this movement. This volume collects contributions of leading philosophers from the USA, England and the F.R. of Germany that examine Putnam's philosophy and its relation to pragmatism. The list of contributors includes G. Abel, K.-O. Apel, R.Bernstein, R. Brandom, J. Conant, J. Habermas, C. Hookway, H. Joas, K.Oehler, R. A. Putnam, and others. Additionally, the volume contains an original contribution of Hilary Putnam in which he replies to Jürgen Habermas' criticisms.
