 Within the ranks of Analytic Philosophy, Verificationists and Pragmatists also reject realism, though for different reasons. We shall mainly focus in this entry on the types of criticism voiced by these two groups of Analytic philosophers with Michael Dummett advocating a certain kind of Verificationism and Hilary Putnam a certain kind of Pragmatism. While accepting Representationalism, both Dummett and Putnam rejected realism by deploying semantic considerations in arguments designed to show that realism is untenable. The main goal of this entry is to outline these ‘semantic’ challenges to realism and to review realist responses to them.
