Rorty VI 63 et seq
Rationality/Putnam/Rorty: rationality is both transcendent and immanent. (Rorty pro. But Rorty has a different sense of "transcendent": "going beyond our present practice").
Putnam confuses the possibility that the future transcends the present, with the necessity that eternity transcends time.

Putnam V 152
Rationality/Putnam: we do not call on public norms to decide what is a rational argument in philosophy.
V 279f
Rationality/fascism/Putnam: problem: we cannot show that the goals of the "rational Nazis" are irrational. Solution: the purposes are abominable, it is not about irrationality. The Nazi is nevertheless irrational when he speaks of "Jewish conspiracy", etc. I.e. he/she misrepresents his/her own goals.
V 281
VsFascism/Putnam: not the irrationality is the bad thing, but the deeds.
Def Irrationality/Putnam: objectives are called irrational, if they lead to misguided arguments for them.
>Goals, >Purposes, >Action, >Reasons, >Ultimate justification, >Justification.
