Abstract
Although it is on occasion important and useful to distinguish between factual claims and value judgments, the distinction becomes, Hilary Putnam argues, positively harmful when identified with a dichotomy between the objective and the purely subjective. Lively, concise, and wise, his book prepares the way for a renewed mutual fruition of philosophy and the social sciences.
