Description
Summary:Hilary Putnam has acquired a reputation for frequently changing his philosophical position. In relation to the problem of realism, he originally defended a position called metaphysical realism, but eventually became one of its critics, first adopting a view he called “internal realism”, which he later abandoned in favor of a direct realism. Putnam’s direct realism aims to return the study of reality to the way ordinary people actually experience the world, rejecting the idea of mental representations, sense data, or other intermediaries between mind and world. The aim of this paper is to present a view of this alternative direct realism that he calls “natural realism” and comment on his relation with other types of direct realism, in particular the realism of Thomas Reid. Hilary Putnam ha adquirido la reputación de cambiar frecuentemente sus posturas filosóficas. En relación con el problema del realismo, originalmente defendió una postura llamada realismo metafísico, pero eventualmente se volvió uno de sus críticos, adoptando primeramente una concepción llamada “realismo interno” que luego abandonó a favor del realismo directo. La vuelta a la ingenuidad: un comentario sobre el realismo natural de Hilary Putnam. El realismo directo de Putnam intenta regresar el estudio de la realidad a la manera como la gente ordinaria experimenta el mundo, rechazando la idea de representaciones mentales, sense data u otros intermediarios entre la mente y el mundo. El propósito de este artículo es presentar una apreciación de este realismo directo alternativo, que llama “realismo natural”, y hacer un comentario sobre su relación con otras formas de realismo directo, en particular con el realismo de Thomas Reid.
