Long. Fascinating. Buckle up and read.
Physicist says: “Putnam really should be regarded as one of the great philosophers of the 20th century. Yet he’s completely unknown.“
Journalist says: “That word—unknown—it came to haunt me as I spent the next 12 years trying to find out why.“
Philosopher says: “He was a genius. Every talk with him had this level of significance that was just orders of magnitude higher up than a normal conversation with a normal human being.”
“Turing had worked out an abstract, universal model of the very possibility of computation, Putnam worked out an abstract, universal model of the very possibility of mind. It was a model, he wrote, that ‘presents a basic overall pattern [or] character of thought in causal terms for the first time.’”

June 28 - the birthday of Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) - a Flemish artist and diplomat. His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasized movement, color, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. Rubens was a painter producing altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and #history paintings of #mythological and #allegorical subjects.
