I (f) 167ff
Truth/knowledge/Kant/Putnam: in Kant there is a separation of an internal and external view for the first time.
According to Putnam: what we say about qualities of objects, applies with equal force to our sensation ("objects of the inner sense").
>Reality, >Perception, >Qualities, >Qualia.
PutnamVsKant/Vs"noumenal world": the question of whether my feelings at different times are "really" alike (have "same noumenal property"), is useless. My sensation "red" cannot be compared directly to noumenal objects.
>Noumenal world.
Truth/Kant: truth is an "agreement of knowledge with its object". Putnam: this is not a correspondence theory but any judgment says, the noumenal world is as a whole in such a way that this is the description that a rational being would construct, if it has the information that a being acquires through our senses. Putnam pro: this is truth as an ideal fit.
Cf. >Correspondence theory.
