Putnam knew physics like virtually nobody else in the field, and so he also knew that it was fatal to reduce philosophy to physics […] I remember a … course he taught at Harvard … entitled “Non-Scientific Knowledge.” It covered ethical knowledge, aesthetic knowledge, and religious knowledge, and Putnam showed the folly of imagining that physical reductionism could replace those normative subjects.

Nicht umsonst gibt es ja auch eine „Neurophilosophie“, deren mir bekannter und geschätzter Vertreter u.a. Georg Northoff ist..
