Hilary Putnam on Necessity - Dictionary of Arguments
Kripke I 141 Necessity/needed/Putnam: "cats are animals" is less necessary than "bachelors are unmarried". --- Putnam V 72 Metaphysically Necessary/Kripke: Putnam: it is "metaphysically necessary" that water is H20, but that is explained by earthly chemistry and earthly facts about speaker intentions regarding reference. When describing a hypothetical liquid which is not H20 and merely resembles water, one does not describe any possible worlds, in which H2O is not water. V 274 Metaphysically Necessary/heat/Kripke/Putnam: possible Worlds, where heat does not corresponds with molecular motion, are possible. Language: but then we say that there is a different mechanism that triggers heat sensation. Identity/heat/molecular motion/Kripke: the identity is necessary, but not a priori. The statement is empirical, but necessary. >Necessary a posteriori. Molecular motion is an essential property of the temperature. KripkeVsMoore: then equating goodness with utility maximization cannot only be contingently wrong. KripkeVsNon-Cognitivism: from the fact that the words are not synonymous, one cannot conclude that the characteristics are not identical. >Non-cognitivism, >Synonymy. V 279 Pro Moore: Moore was right that our concepts of natural science are more neutral as opposed to ethical ones. VsMoore: but that does not mean that the good did not exist._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
