 Among the earliest and most influential arguments for broad content were Hilary Putnam’s arguments in such essays as “The Meaning of ‘Meaning’” (1975). Putnam’s arguments were not designed specifically with mental content in mind. They applied in the first instance to linguistic content, more specifically to the reference of terms in a natural language. However, they have been widely applied to mental content. I will first discuss Putnam’s argument concerning linguistic content, and then note how it can be extended to mental content.
