Hilary Putnam (Harvard)
Externalism: Its Motivation And Its Critics

In this talk, delivered at Harvard University on October 4th 2007, one of the major proponents of semantic externalism revisits the subject matter of his 1975 paper "The Meaning Of 'Meaning'," extending and updating his views about the nature of meaning and why it "ain't in the head."

The talk was part of the interdisciplinary reading group Internalist Explorations Of Meaning. For more information, visit the group's website.
