Meta: Putnam Makes Me Think about Fandom

I continue to find Hilary Putnam's Reason,Truth, and History to be very useful and thought-provoking for my thesis. Let me state for the record that while in general I agree with Putnam's objectives, finding a position within the gap between objectivism and extreme relativism, I'm not quite sure that how he gets there--his "internal realism"--works completely. I look forward to reading many refutations and objecions in my research. (Is it bad that everything Putnam says makes me think not about Orwell, but fandom?)

( Authoritarianism and Pluralism )
