62Ewen attributes " New Coon in Town " to Paul Allen, though Clarke attributes it to J. S. Putnam -- both agree on the year, 1883

* Brains in a vat philosophical argument against the idea that we could be in cyberspace and not know it by Hilary Putnam

Seth Putnam and Tim Morse tried out this idea in a 6-song session in 1992, just before Putnam successfully auditioned for the reformed thrashcore band Siege, but it was a while before the plans were fully realized.

Hilary Putnam also developed his internal realism around the idea a belief is true if it is ideally justified in epistemic terms.

Hilary Putnam has also endorsed this idea and ascribes it to Martin Buber, Emmanuel Levinas, and Franz Rosenzweig.

" is the title of two articles ( by Hilary Putnam and Michael Dummett ) that discuss the idea that the algebraic properties of logic may, or should, be empirically determined ; in particular, they deal with the question of whether empirical facts about quantum phenomena may provide grounds for revising classical logic as a consistent logical rendering of reality.

" Hilary Putnam, whose PhD studies were supervised by Reichenbach, pursued Quine's idea systematically.

In particular, he claimed that what physicists have learned about quantum mechanics provides a compelling case for abandoning certain familiar principles of classical logic for this reason: realism about the physical world, which Putnam generally maintains, demands that we square up to the anomalies associated with quantum phenomena.

Later work by Putnam also suggests that social capital, and the associated growth of public trust are inhibited by immigration and rising racial diversity in communities.

This argument, associated with Willard Quine and Hilary Putnam, is considered by Stephen Yablo to be one of the most challenging arguments in favor of the acceptance of the existence of abstract mathematical entities, such as numbers and sets.

In 1938, outside scientists including H. Houston Merritt and Tracy Putnam discovered phenytoin's usefulness for controlling seizures, without the sedative effects associated with phenobarbital.

It has been associated with a variety of other thinkers as well, among them, Hilary Putnam, W. V. O.

In addition to the station itself, six other individuals associated with the station — former owner Gene Autry, newsmen Hal Fishman, George Putnam, Stan Chambers and Larry McCormick, and KTLA founder Klaus Landsberg — have received stars on the Walk of Fame.

The latest version is called the computational theory of mind, associated with philosophers Hilary Putnam and Jerry Fodor.

Hence Putnam cannot embrace realism without embracing classical logic, and hence his argument to endorse quantum logic because of realism about quanta is a hopeless case.

Ultimately, it failed to solve many of the problems with which it was centrally concerned, and after the Second World War, its doctrines increasingly came under attack by thinkers such as Nelson Goodman, Willard Van Orman Quine, J. L. Austin, Peter Strawson, Hilary Putnam, and Richard Rorty.

Putnam demonstrates this with four objections:

At Yale, he participated in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition and was on the team representing Yale University ( along with Murray Gerstenhaber and Henry O. Pollak ) that won the second prize in 1947.

Putnam ’ s activities with the American Library Association led him to join with Justin Winsor and Melvil Dewey as official delegates to the International Conference of Librarians in London in 1897 When Winsor died shortly thereafter, Putnam served the remainder of his term as President of the ALA.

John Russell Young died in January 1899, and “ President William McKinley found himself faced with the responsibility of appointing a Librarian of Congress who should preside over the affairs of the institution whose building had been completed but years ago .” President McKinley requested Herbert Putnam to be appointed to the task, and Putnam was officially confirmed to the duties of Librarian of Congress on December 12, 1899.

Although Putnam ’ s administration would need time in order to collect, organize, and disseminate all of the material within the Library of Congress ’ collection, the task was completed with enormous success.

In July 1916, “ former LC staff member Elizabeth West, director of the Carnegie Library of San Antonio, Texas, suggested to Putnam that the Library of Congress cooperate with other libraries to send books to American soldiers .”

But with so much invested in buildings, little money remained for books or administration … Putnam took the matter up directly with the War Department and obtained assurances that the government would provide utilities.

It was clear Putnam was not willing to withdraw completely from the world of librarianship, stating “ I would willingly surrender the administration, if that course would serve the interest of the library and I could feel assured as to my successor .” Putnam provided the suggestion of “ Librarian Emeritus ” be developed as his new official title, with an honorarium of one-half of his original salary.

On October 1, 1939, Putnam retired as the 8th Librarian of Congress with that title, and he “ continued to contribute to the Library, keeping regular office hours for the next 15 years .”

The County shares its northern boundary with Putnam County and its southern boundary with New York City.

In the 1990s, this office moved from 200 Madison Avenue ( a building it shared with Putnam Publishing ) to 198 Madison Avenue, which was the former B. Altman Company headquarters.

In his Twin Earth thought experiment, Hilary Putnam asks us to imagine a scenario in which there is a substance with all of the observable properties of water ( e. g., taste, color, boiling point ), but which is chemically different from water.

Israel Putnam ( January 7, 1718 – May 29, 1790 ) was an American army general and Freemason who fought with distinction at the Battle of Bunker Hill ( 1775 ) during the American Revolutionary War ( 1775 – 1783 ).

According to oral tradition, Putnam in his youth killed the last wolf in Connecticut with the help of a group of farmers from Mortlake.

The tradition describes Putnam crawling into a den with a torch, a musket, and his feet secured with rope, in order to be quickly pulled out.

Complementarity does not usually imply that it is classical logic which is at fault ( although Hilary Putnam did take that view in his paper " Is logic empirical ?").

Predicate logic was primarily introduced to the mathematical community by C. S. Peirce, who coined the term second-order logic and whose notation is most similar to the modern form ( Putnam 1982 ).

Quantum logic has been proposed as the correct logic for propositional inference generally, most notably by the philosopher Hilary Putnam, at least at one point in his career.

* Kreisel – Putnam logic ( KP ):

There are, however, few philosophers today who regard this logic as a replacement for classical logic ; Putnam himself may no longer hold that view.

The Davis – Putnam algorithm was developed by Martin Davis and Hilary Putnam for checking the validity of a first-order logic formula using a resolution-based decision procedure for propositional logic.

The Davis – Putnam – Logemann – Loveland ( DPLL ) algorithm is a complete, backtracking-based search algorithm for deciding the satisfiability of propositional logic formulae in conjunctive normal form, i. e. for solving the CNF-SAT problem.

Many Putnam Fellows have gone on to become distinguished researchers in mathematics and other fields, including three Fields Medalists — Milnor, Mumford, and Quillen — and two Nobel laureates in physics — Feynman and Wilson.

Since Eugene Wigner raised the issue in 1960 and Hilary Putnam made it more rigorous in 1975, the question of why fields such as physics and mathematics should agree so well has been debated.

Putnam Valley calls itself the " Town of Lakes ".
